NINA-B1 FCC/IC filing cover letter


Background
u-blox intend to file an application for single-modular transmitter approval with shared FCC ID for our product
NINA-B1 available in the variants NINA-B111 and NINA-B112 as shown in the table below. Parts of this
document were submitted as a cover letter to our KDB enquiry (Tracking Number 509290) on the use and
applicability of test reports from NINA-B111 on NINA-B112.



u-blox product variant    Proposed FCC ID:
NINA-B111                 XPYNINA-B1
NINA-B112                 XPYNINA-B1



NINA-B1 product description
The NINA-B1 series are small stand-alone Bluetooth low-energy (LE) modules with NFC passive tag functionality.
They are offered in two variants; NINA-B111 (10 x 10.6 mm) with the BLE RF-port available at an antenna-pin,
and the extended NINA-B112 (10 x 14 mm) having the RF-port connected to an internal PIFA antenna. The
modules can only operate in 1 Mbps BLE mode. The included BLE stack from Nordic Semiconductors supports
concurrent Central and Peripheral roles with up to three connections as central and one connection as
peripheral. Both module variants require an external NFC antenna in order to support NFC; the antenna is
connected to two NFC antenna pins underneath the module. Only passive tag functionality is available. The
NINA-B1 modules operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and at 13.56 MHz for NFC.
Both product variants use identical firmware on the radio transceiver.

Product variants, technical differences
Both product variants, NINA-B111 and NINA-B112, have identical RF and digital parts. PCB stack-up and Layout
under the RF shield cover is identical on both variants. The only difference between the two variants is the added
3.4 mm of PCB on NINA-B112 that carries the internal PIFA antenna.
