SRRC Certification Update - Document No. 129

 About SRRC Certification:

SRRC, or the State Radio Regulation Committee, is a mandatory certification required by the National Radio Management Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. All wireless products sold within China must obtain certification, commonly referred to as SRRC certification, which involves approval of the wireless transmission equipment model.

SRRC Document No. 129:

Document No. 129 introduces various interference avoidance technical requirements for wireless transmission equipment, including "pre-transmission scanning," "monitoring and avoidance," and "Medium Utilization (MU)" for equivalent occupancy rate.

a. "Pre-transmission scanning" and "monitoring and avoidance" mechanisms involve monitoring and listening to the wireless channel before or during signal transmission. By setting appropriate detection threshold levels, the channel's occupancy status is determined to select an idle channel for access.

b. The "equivalent occupancy rate" mechanism requires wireless transmission equipment to self-adjust based on parameters such as "Duty Cycle" and "transmission power," ensuring the "equivalent occupancy rate" remains at a lower level (not exceeding 10%).

1.     Certificate Validity Period:
Enforced from October 15, 2023. During this period, both old and new policies can be applied. Certificates obtained under the old regulation (Document No. 353) are valid until December 31, 2025. However, certificates obtained by complying with the requirements of Document No. 129 will be valid for 5 years.

2.     Sample Requirements:
2.1   The quantity of conducted samples prepared according to the old regulation remains unchanged: 5 samples.
2.2   The major change introduced by Document No. 129 is the addition of interference avoidance technical requirements. The interference avoidance test items include:
1.     Maximum channel occupancy time
2.     Minimum channel idle time
3.     Minimum silence period duration
4.     Detection of unused signals
5.     Detection threshold
6.     Short control signal duty cycle
7.     Equivalent occupancy rate.

Differences between Old and New Regulations:

2. Bluetooth SIG Announces Deprecation and Withdraw of Legacy Bluetooth Core Spec Version

Raytac Introduces Ultra Compact & Cost Effective Bluetooth® Low Energy Modules Using Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 series Ultra-Low Power System-on-Chip 

Raytac announced that the new cost down version of BLE module MDBT40-P has been released today.
In order to benefit all customers can easy adopt this new module, MDBT40-P are fully compatible and pip to pip design to the original one, MDBT40.

Part No.:
MDBT40-P128: nRF51822 128K
MDBT40-P256: nRF51822 256K
MDBT40ANT-P256: nRF51422 256K

Size: 1 x 1.8 x 2.7 cm (W x L x H)

Thus, all our customer who has built up the products based on MDBT40 does not need to change anything, just straightly swift to the MDBT40-P and start to enjoy the cost down effect.
(No need to modify the carrier board, no need to modify the firmware, even no need to apply safety certification again such as DID/FCC/Telec/CE)

The major difference between MDBT40 VS. MDBT40-P is the Antenna.
MDBT40-P changed the antenna component from chip antenna to printed one.With less component needed, Raytac can successfully conducted cost effective benefit to all our customers.

Comes with printed antenna version, the only demerit of MDBT40-P is the transmission distance will become 70M~80M which is around 10M shorter than original MDBT40. 
However, 70~80M transmission distance is already a superior performance over most of customer's specification required.

                             SIze (cm)        Working Distance (Open Space)

MDBT40               1 x 1.8 x 3.1              80~100 M              
MDBT40-P            1 x 1.8 x 2.7               70~80  M 

Raytac never satisfied with our current perfect result of the module performance, but continually study and find the best solution to improve in terms of cost, performance and delivery.We believed this is the best and only way we can contribute to all the customer who trust us.

After SIG revised the listing process, the certification cost to develop a BT4.0 products has been increased.
To select the products built by "BT4.0 Chip on Board" or "BT4.0 Module" will result in really big difference in cost aspect latter on.
In order to help to select the best way to develop a BT4.0 related product, we listed the cost comparison chart as below


Note:
1. Declaration ID is listed based on normal condition US$8,000
 (If applicant has never applied EPL or QDID, and annual sales amount less than USD 1 million, the applicant may apply small or star-up program with Declaration ID cost US$2,500)
2. Products developed based on Chip on board: New Declaration ID needed since design and feather is changed
3. Products developed based on Chip on board: New FCC and Telec certification needed since the design and feather is changed
4. Products developed based on Module, No need to apply New Declaration ID since BT's design and feather remained no changed. Though, need to add the product in Production List under Declaration with free of charge.
5. Products developed based on Module, No need to apply New FCC & Telec since RF's design and feather remained no changed. Only need to add the product list for Telec.

Many customers are eagerly to know the implement of Mouse, Mice, Keyboard based on Nordic nRF51822.

The following article may help every one easier to understand what and how the benefit of the mouse and mice apply nRF51 solution

Quoted from: http://technews.tw/2013/11/14/nordic-semiconductor-lenovo-wireless-bluetooth-mouse/

Lenovo Released  BT4.0 / RF2.4GHz Mouse

Lenovo Group, the leading computer brand,  released the first wireless mouse with BT4.0 and RF 2.4GHz mouse all over the world. This mouse is designed based on Nordic nRF51822 SOC solution. 
This product also has 2013 Red Dot Design Award granted.
inyurl.com/red-dot-Lenovo

Lenovo N700 wireless mouse can be used in Windows 8 OS which has fully supported BT4.0 profile. Or can use attached USB Dongle (RF2.4GHz) to be used for the computer which are not supporting BT4.0 profile. (For example Windows 7)

  

Lenovo N700 will scan both BT4.0 and RF2.4GHz signal.

Lenovo Group appeals that customers can apply N700 to operates 2 computers with this single mouse mice instead of 2. The operation scenario is connecting to 1 computer which is equipped BT4.0 profile, and another one can be linked by attacned USB Dongle by 2.4GHzRF communication. 

The communication pattern (BT4.0 VS 2.4GHZ) can be commited by the switch in below picture.

Raytac BT4.0 module's MTBT40 with small size and performance is the one which is a good choice to be equipped in the mouse.

A warm reminding from Raytac

To apply this technology in mouse or keyboard application may need 2 safety certification for every country, such as FCC (USA), Telec (Japan), and CE (EU).

One wireless certificate is for BT4.0, and another one is RF2.4GHz.

(BT4.0 Declaration ID is also required)

Raytac BT4.0 module MDBT40 has both FCC and Telec safety certificates granted in module type. Thus, products which has this module installed inside does not need to spend extra cost and time for safety regulation in the development stage.

With this effort by Raytac, we do hope can help all our partners to bring an easier and quick response to the markets and end customers.
