To do a FCC certification of a radio it's not just to do the testing. Either you have to have approval from the original certifier to reuse their cert filing to create a new FCC id to which you add your antennas that been tested. Or you have to have a lot of documentation such as block diagram, electrical schematics and bill of material which you can not just make up and the radio manufacturer will not just hand over to you because that is pretty much the entire blue print to recreate the radio and of course they do not want just about anyone to have this info. > > MikroTik allows as you point out their resellers and dists to get their FCC approved labels (for their radios) to be attached to MikroTik (and FCC certified) approved solutions their resellers put together. Important to keep in mind when getting a FCC certification a label design have to be submitted and approved by the FCC. > > I been directly involved with e-zy.net to get their radios certified working directly with the FCC lab. I initially as well helped MikroTik with their first few full certified units (crossroads and R52's). So know what is required as well the time and costs to get it done. So I'm not just making up things doing this I learned way more about part 15 and class B devices as well intentional transmitters then I ever really wanted to know. > > /Eje > CTO > WISP-Router, Inc. > Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile > > -----Original Message----- > From: Butch Evans <but...@butchevans.com> > > Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 23:32:09 > To: WISPA General List<wireless@wispa.org> > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik FCC > > > On Mon, 2009-05-11 at 22:18 -0500, Dennis Burgess - LinkTechs wrote: > > Yes, you can not certify the radios, MT wants the distributors to build > > and certify them.
