General requirements
NORA-W30 series modules are designed to comply with the regulatory demands of Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada
(ISED)

. This chapter contains instructions on the process needed for an integrator
when including the NORA-W30 module into an end-product.
•
Any deviation from the process described may cause the NORA-W30 series module not to comply
with the regulatory authorizations of the module and thus void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
•
Any changes to hardware, hosts or co-location configuration may require new radiated emission
and SAR evaluation and/or testing.
•
The regulatory compliance of NORA-W30 series module does not exempt the end-product from
being evaluated against applicable regulatory demands; for example, FCC Part 15B criteria for
unintentional radiators
•
The end-product manufacturer must follow all the engineering and operating guidelines as
specified by the grantee (u-blox).
•
The NORA-W30 is for OEM integrators only.
•
Only authorized antenna(s) may be used. Refer to
antennas. In the end-product, the NORA-W30 series module must be installed in such a way that
only authorized antennas can be used.
•
For end products using the NORA-W301, the end-product must use the specified antenna trace
reference design, as described in the
•
Any notification to the end user about how to install or remove the integrated radio module is NOT
allowed.
•
Electromagnetic interference compatibility (EMI / EMC) and spurious emissions tests are required
for end-products targeted for most world regions.
⚠
If these conditions cannot be met or any of the operating instructions are violated, the u-blox
regulatory authorization will be considered invalid. Under these circumstances, the integrator is
responsible to re-evaluate the end-product including the NORA-W30 series module and obtain
their own regulatory authorization, or u-blox may be able to support updates of the u-blox
regulatory authorization. See also
6.2
FCC/ISED End-product regulatory compliance (pending)
u-blox warrants that the modular transmitter fulfills the FCC/ISED regulations when operating in
authorized modes on any host product given that the integrator follows the instructions as described
in this document.
⚠
The modular transmitter approval of NORA-W30, or any other radio module, does not exempt the
end product from being evaluated against applicable regulatory demands.
