The SDC-CF10AG is certified for compliance to various CE, ETSI, FCC, Industry Canada, MIC, and Wi-Fi Alliance standards as well as Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) specifications. The grants, approvals, and formal test reports associated with these certifications may be leveraged by Laird customers to achieve their required device certifications. The degree to which customers can leverage these items is dependent upon the regulatory agency, industry body, and the type of end device.
If any additional information or guidance is required, please contact Summit's certification group via email or by telephone at 330.434.7929.
CE / ETSI
The SDC-CF10AG has been tested for compliance to various CE and ETSI standards and specifications:
This testing was conducted with the following dual band antennas:
These formal test reports may be leveraged by mobile and portable device vendors as part of their self-declaration to obtain the CE mark required by members of the European Union. ETSI/CE rules differ from those of the FCC and IC in that there is no provision for a modular approval. All approvals and certifications must exist at the device level, rather than at the radio module (radio) level.
Summit has obtained a Frequency Authority Certificate for the SDC-CF10AG and is fully compliant with Annex IV procedures in article 10.5 of R&TTE directive 99/5/EC.
Like all Summit devices, the SDC-CF10AG is fully compliant with European Union Directive 2011/65/EU or Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) as per our Declaration of Compliance.
FCC
Summit has received the following two FCC Limited Modular Approval (LMA) grants for the SDC-CF10AG (FCC identifier TWG-SDCCF10AG):
Part 15.247 Subpart C (DTS)
This grant relates to operation in the 2.412 to 2.462 GHz (ISM) and 5.745 to 5.805 GHz (UNII-3) frequency bands.
Part 15.407 Subpart E (DFS)
This grant relates to operation in the 5.180 to 5.240 GHz (UNII-1), 5.280 to 5.320 GHz (UNII-2), and 5.500 to 5.700 GHz (UNII-2 Extended) frequency bands.
These grants were secured with the following antennas:
The above grants are Limited Modular Approvals. Specific limitations are indicated on each grant:
- The SDC-CF10AG must be installed by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) such as a Portable Data Terminal vendor.
- When using this grant, the SDC-CF10AG must be installed only in mobile devices (devices which typically operate at distances greater than 20cm, or 7.9 inches, from the human body). When certifying portable devices (those that typically operate at distances less than 20cm from the human body) a new grant must be secured by the device vendor.
Note: Summit test data may be leveraged by the device vendor to minimize the cost and time associated with the certification process.
Industry Canada
The SDC-CF10AG is certified to Industry Canada (IC) RSS-210 standard certification. The IC 6616A-SDCCF10AG certification is based on FCC certification testing, using the same antennas and transmit power and covering the same frequency bands. Test reports and data sheets relevant to this certification may be found in the FCC section above.
MIC (formerly TELEC)
Summit has secured the following MIC certifications:
Article 2 Item 19, Category WW (2.4GHz Channels 1-13)
Article 2 Item 19-2, Category GZ (2.4GHz Channel 14)
These certifications were secured with the following antennas:
Device vendors may leverage these certifications and the associated test report when applying for MIC certifications at the device level rather than the module (radio) level.
Wi-Fi Alliance
Summit has submitted the SDC-CF10AG to an authorized Wi-Fi Alliance test lab and as a result has received an Embedded Client Certification for the following standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, WPA (both personal and enterprise) and WPA2/802.11i (both personal and enterprise). For those host devices which include the SDC-CF10AG, the vendor may assert that their device incorporates a Wi-Fi Certified Embedded Client. The vendor need not be a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance to make this assertion but may not use the "Wi-Fi Certified" logo in conjunction with their device.
Device vendors who are members of the Wi-Fi Alliance may also choose to secure a Wi-Fi Alliance certification for their specific device. In this case, the vendor may not leverage the test data or certification for the Summit device. The vendor can, however, use the SDC-CF10AG test plan as a template, modifying it as necessary for the capabilities of their particular device. By leveraging Summit's "pre-approved" software and test plan, the vendor has a greater assurance that their actual testing will result in an end device certification. Summit will provide consultative services to those vendors who choose to pursue a Wi-Fi Alliance certification for their Summit-equipped devices.
Cisco Compatible Extensions
Summit is a member of the Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) program and has a direct license from Cisco for intellectual property relating to the various versions of the CCX specifications. Summit has submitted the SDC-CF10AG to an authorized CCX test lab and has been found to be fully compliant with version 4 of the CCX specifications for application specific devices (ASDs). For those host devices which include the SDC-CF10AG, the vendor may assert that their device incorporates a Cisco Compatible radio module.

Device vendors who are members of the CCX program may also choose to secure CCX compliance for their end device. When incorporating the SDC-CF10AG into their product with the above software version, the vendor need not be a direct licensee for Cisco intellectual property. Rather, in this case the device vendor need only submit their SDC-CF10AG enabled device for CCX compliance testing to the version 4 test plan for ASDs. By leveraging Summit's "pre-approved" software and by testing to the same plan, the vendor has a greater assurance that their actual testing will result in an end device compliance. Summit will provide consultative services to those vendors who choose to pursue CCX compliance for their Summit-equipped devices.
