By providing FCC modular approval on the Airborne WLN modules, the customers are relieved of any need
to perform FCC Part15 Subpart C Intentional Radiator testing and certification, except where they want to
use an antenna that is not already certified.
B+B SmartWorx supports a group of pre-approved antennas. Use of one of these antennas eliminates the
need to do any further Subpart C testing or certification. If an antenna is not on the list, it is a simple
process to add it to the pre-approved list without having to complete a full set of emissions testing. Please
contact B+B SmartWorx Technical support for details of the company’s qualification processes.
Please note that, as part of the FCC requirements for the use of the modular approval, the installation of
any antenna must require a professional installer. This is to prevent any non-authorized antenna from being
used with the radio. There are ways to support this requirement but, the most popular is to utilize a non-
standard antenna connector; this designation includes the reverse polarity versions of the most popular RF
antenna types (SMA, TNC, etc.). For more details please contact B+B SmartWorx.
