Actually, GR-1089 starts at 60 Hz (magnetic field) and 10 kHz (electric field
and conducted tests).

You have to be careful here Jeff. The frequency range for evaluation to
GR-1089 starts at 150kHz and goes up to 10 GHz. The FCC Part 15 testing
range is from 30MHz-1.0GHz.
The GR-1089 spec also contains Immunity requirements.
Further, the objective is to meet the spec with all covers, panels, doors
off/open which is
not typically done during FCC testing.
Additionally, look at it from this perspective: If an RBOC is going to be
reviewing
proposals, if there are two similar products competing, they will choose the
one that
meets the details of the NEBS spec, than the one that took steps to 'look
like' they meet NEBS,
even if the product costs more.
The RBOCs are a different breed than the usual commercial customer.

Group,


Can anyone confirm that the RBOC's, particularly Bell Atlantic has agreed to
accept EMC FCC data from non NRTL's?
If this is true please provide any documentation to support this. (You know
a customer is going to want to see it)


Thanks in advance,
