Having global RF certifications demonstrates the quality of the product, as well as compliance with the applicable laws and regulations for the geographic region. The certifications also show that a device has met specific standards related to the methods, workmanship, and materials used. When obtaining RF certifications, the embedded cellular device will have to go through multiple rounds of testing and design. A pre-scan is done prior to submitting a device for RF certification to determine if the device will pass the certification tests. If an embedded cellular device fails the pre-scan, the device can go through a number of rounds of testing and debugging to pinpoint the specific issues preventing the device from passing the RF certification tests. Often the issues are related to the RF noise emitted from the device exceeding the threshold allowed for a specific RF certification standard. While the extra testing required to obtain global RF certification can certainly affect the completion time and cost of an embedded cellular device, the benefit of having an embedded cellular device that can address global IoT use cases and customers is well worth the wait.
