Changes to antennas, RF parameters, modules and firmware should be included in complete product documentation and testing impact assessments.

Wireless products may undergo module replacement, antenna changes or software upgrades during development and production. Businesses should maintain change records defining the affected hardware, parameters and functions, then determine whether existing test documents still apply to the current product.

Pay particular attention to module models, antenna types and gain, supported frequency bands, output power and operating modes. Even if the appearance and product name remain unchanged, configuration changes may affect test conditions and require assessment by project engineers against the target markets.

Production versions should match the product information covered by the reports, and labels, manuals and technical documents should be reviewed accordingly. GTG can help organize change documentation. Additional testing or formal change applications should be determined under the relevant rules and the receiving organization’s requirements.
