There is a frequent question comes up from people!
What is the Bluetooth Power Classes? What is Class 1 and what is Class 2?
What the relationship Power Classes related to working range?
Here, there is a simple chart can help everyone to have an easy understanding!
Information quoted form Bluetooth Organization (SIG)
Now, it is obviously to know why Raytac’s module is superior!

近來, 很多使用勁達國際電子藍牙模組的客戶提到 FuTKEE 與RED
 基本上, FuTKEE指的就是新的CE無線指令RED,但目前都還是Draft都還在修正,目前還無法執行
 預計2016年底或2017年初,才會有比較明確的消息,針對所有的無線產品都會有改動
 
最新歐洲無線設備指令2014/53/EU
在新無線設備指令(RED)中和舊RTTE指令的重大區別有:
  • RED產品范圍僅包括無線通讯和無線識别設備(如RFID,雷達,移動偵测等)。射频設備不用於通讯或者識别的會在電磁兼容EMC指令和低電壓LVD指令的管控中
  • 有線通訊終端設備(TTE)被移除,因此RED指令僅用於無線產品
  • 無線廣播接收機現已纳入RED指令的範圍(之前涵蓋在電磁兼容EMC指令和低電壓LVD指令中)
  • 指令覆蓋頻率下限已取消(之前RTTE的管控起始頻率是9千赫),而上限依然是3000兆赫
  • 公告機構評估意見現已由型式檢查證書取代
  • 制造商只有在其品質體系經過公告機構评估過後,才能使用附上公告機構號碼的CE標誌(完全品質保証型式高)
  • 二類設備向各國頻譜機構進行通告的要求不再需要
  • 二類設備的標識(驚嘆號)不再需要,不過在某些國家受限使用的警示依然需要出現在產品包装上
  • 不再需要在用户手册中出現CE標誌,不過手册中必须注明射頻使用的頻段及發射功率
  • 個人評估用的套件不再受管控(即不需要進行RED認證)
  • 新指令要求使用統一的充電器
  • 制造商及入口商的地址及聯絡方式必須出現在設備上,而當設備太小時可以出現在用户手册中
現有的這些改動及未来的其他改動将會影響到客戶在今年和未来幾年的產品認証,所以建議從現在就必須開始将新指令考虑到產品的設計和市場销售中

Raytac BT Module BQB & Safety Regulation Summary

A Bluetooth module needs to have 2 factors certification.
1. BQB Qualification
BQB testing is including RF PHY & Profiles interoperability testing.
Module only applied BQB with BOTH 2 tests can comply with Module Policy.
SIG Declaration ID (also known as DID) is essential.
 
Raytac’s MDBT40/MDBT40-P module past hardware RF PHY testing but also has past all Nordic profiles interoperability tests.
 
As such, customers who is using Raytac’s module to build up the products can follow the Module Policy  which means can just sublist all products under single DID’s Product List without applying another.
 
2. Regional RF Safety Regulation
Many of Raytac’s customers are curious why Raytac modules have so many no. on the shielding case.
Similar to BQB qualification, to have Antenna+Shielding case+ Qualification Report No. on shielding is essential condition to comply Module Policy for regional RF Safety Regulation.
Different from BQB, Regional RF Safety Regulation is law enforce issue in custom for every border.
Raytac’ MDBT40/MDBT40-P has complied following safety regulation in different countries by Module Policy.
Excepting CE and RCM which are not conducting Module policy, Raytac modules can bring a easy way for all customers to save time and cost without further regulation testing again in finished products.
