Ron,
In general, the labhelp address at the FCC should be used for questions - I
know they generally resist answering questions addressed to individuals. If
you've used this without a response, the specific answer must still be under
discussion. If this is for a handheld mobile computer that can be held to the
head for voice communications, from direct experience I can say that the rules
apply.
For normal cellular (GSM/UMTS or CDMA) the FCC does require HAC compliance if
the product can be held to the head. Note that if a single device has
multiple air interfaces (GSM and UMTS, for example), then the device counts
towards your total model count for each individual interface.
For WiFi interfaces the test spec is in development so there is not a current
test requirement. Recent FCC guidance is that the device is considered
compliant if the following two conditions are met: 1) the device is HAC
compliant for all other interfaces in the product (e.g. GSM/UMTS). 2) the
labeling must disclose that the device has not been rated for WiFi usage.
Best Regards,
-Dave Heald

To all,
The FCC is in the process of imposing HAC requirements for digital
wireless
phones. I am asking those intimately knowledgeable with that process if this
requirement would also apply to specific B2B products that also include
digital wireless phone capability?
I am asking this group as earlier requests to the FCC for clarification
on
this point remain unanswered. If there is a specific FCC point of contact for
this, please provide me with the contact details.
I look forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Ron Pickard
