For wireless technologies, technical regulations conformity certification is provided by TELEC in the Japanese market. The TELEC certification assures that solutions based on WiQuest silicon can be approved for operation in Japan in the 4.2 to 4.8 GHz frequency band.
Conforming to TELEC regulations for UWB systems the solution includes an embedded module and associated DWA.
“With TELEC approval achieved, product availability in Japan based on WiQuest silicon is now imminent,” said Matthew B. Shoemake, WiQuest founder, CEO and president in a press release.
He continued: “Coupled with the passing of multiple FCC (News - Alert) certifications, WiMedia PHY registration, and WHQL unclassified driver tests, WiQuest's is the most complete ultrawideband solution available on the market.”
