Most manufacturers want to make their product radio enabled by integrating radio connectivity. This is often achieved by installing radio modules into their product. This presentation will explain radio module approvals and what a manufacturer must do when installing radio modules into their equipment.  

 

Why watch this webinar?  

Watch this webinar to gain: 

  • Understanding of the end goal of regulatory approvals
  • Insight into the "What" and "Why" of Radio Modules
  • Insight into "Combined Equipment" compliance  
  • Overview of engineering and legality 

Electronic equipment or devices are becoming increasingly connected, from a laptop to a toaster and more. The inclusion of radio modules to these products creates radio products, which require manufacturers to ensure a greater degree of compliance across all major regulatory bodies and end markets. But what exactly does this mean for manufacturers who need to test and certify their products?

 

Key topics covered in this webinar

Element’s Technical Director of Regulatory Approvals, Michael Derby, will provide an overview of testing and regulatory landscape for manufacturers, covering the end goal of a manufacturer and how regulatory approvals tie into this goal; what is a radio module and what does mean to add a pre-approved module to your product; what happens when you put your module into another product; and finally, we’ll look at this from the perspective of engineering and then legal compliance.
