Approvals
For the complete list of all the certification schemes approvals of LISA-U modules, see the u-blox web-site
(http://www.u-blox.com).
Product certification approval is the process of certifying that a product has passed all tests and criteria required
by specifications, typically called “certification schemes” that can be divided into three distinct categories:

Regulatory certification
o
Country specific approval required by local government in most regions and countries, as:
 CE (Conformité Européenne) marking for European Union
 FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approval for United States

Industry certification
o
Telecom industry specific approval verifying the interoperability between devices and networks:
 GCF (Global Certification Forum), partnership between European device manufacturers and
network operators to ensure and verify global interoperability between devices and networks
 PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board), created by United States network operators to
ensure and verify interoperability between devices and North America networks

Operator certification
o
Operator specific approval required by some mobile network operator, as:
 AT&T network operator in United States
Even if LISA-U modules are approved under all major certification schemes, the application device that integrates
LISA-U modules must be approved under all the certification schemes required by the specific application device
to be deployed in the market.
The required certification scheme approvals and the related testing specifications differ depending on the
country or the region where the device that integrates LISA-U modules must be deployed, on the corresponding
vertical market of the device, on type, features and functionalities of the whole application device, and on the
network operators where the device must operate.
The certification of the application device that integrates a LISA-U module and the compliance of the
application device with all the applicable certification schemes, directives and standards are the sole
responsibility of the application device manufacturer.
LISA-U modules are certified according to all capabilities and options stated in the Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement document (PICS) of the module. The PICS, according to 3GPP TS 51.010-2 [10] and
3GPP TS 34.121-2 [11], is a statement of the implemented and supported capabilities and options of a device.
The PICS document of the application device integrating LISA-U series modules must be updated from the
module PICS statement if any feature stated as supported by the module in its PICS document is not
implemented or disabled in the application device. For more details regarding the AT commands settings
that affect the PICS, see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3].
Check the specific settings required for mobile network operators approvals as they may differ from the
AT commands settings defined in the module as integrated in the application device.
