Why is Nimbelink claiming they have "end device certification" and selling their product with a Telit chip set for more money? I would be very happy to just use the ublox module(following their specs) as it's way cheaper, but the crux of my question is to check if "end device certification" is necessary. | |

This is why modules are available, as well as bare ICs. Follow up with u-blox (its their business model to support you, they probably have documentation). | |
| May 13, 2017 at 20:50 | comment | added | mehfoos yacoob | Thanks for the info. I do not wish to break the law, but wanted clarification on using certified modules without further PTCRB or GFC. If I use the ublox module described in countries where they have certified it, and I comply with their specification, but do not prove it through any official certification, can I get banned from a network? If so, how is my design different to the mbed C027 board from a network operator's persepctive? | |
