5.5 Regulatory Specifications

The RS9113 USB Half Mini Card includes the Dual Band RS9113DB module from Redpine Signals which has undergone modular certification for FCC, IC and CE/ETSI. Note that any changes to the module’s configuration including (but not limited to) the programming values of the RF Transceiver and Baseband can cause the performance to change beyond the scope of the certification. These changes, if made, may result in the module having to be certified afresh.

The table below lists the details of the regulatory certifications. The certification for geographies not listed in the table is in progress.
