Japan, Modular approval of transmitters is also feasible within the MIC certification rules. In general, the RF module must be used with a certified antenna, use stabilized input voltage, and the RF circuitry must be protected (shielded, or resin dropped) in such a way that it is not easy to access or open with normal tools. The module is regarded a module, when it is insertable or integratable only. Plugs may be pins for plugs but also pins for soldering. Modules integrated or embedded on the same PCB of the host are not considered to be a module and require separate approval. Contact Teleconformity for more information on your specific case.

Apple runs into complaints from consumers using the new iphone. A part of the nicely designed stainless steel band that wraps around the iPhone, is in fact the antenna itself. When holding the phone in you hands in such a way that you 'short-cut' the antenna strip, the reception (and TX probably also) performance seems to be affected..

Europe, overview of revised DECT standards in 2010: EN301406V2.1.1 aligns the radio testing standard to the features of New Generation DECT systems. It extends radiated spurious emission testing in 4-12.75GHz while conducted spurious emission testing is only required for devices with antenna connectors. EN301489-6V1.3.1 contains additions and changes in order to cover the changes coming from the revisions of the DECT standards. It specifes changes for audio break through and bit error measurements.
