Registered office: u-blox AG Zürcherstrasse 68 Attn: Reviewing Engineer 8800 Thalwil Switzerland PHOENIX TESTLAB GmbH Product Certification Company number: CH-020.3.020.161-7 Königswinkel 10 info@u-blox.com D-32825 Blomberg support@u-blox.com RE: Certification Application Model: NINA-B301, NINA-B302, NINA-B306 IC : 8595A-NINAB30 FCC ID: XPYNINAB30 Operational description of OEM-Bluetooth low energy module series NINA-B30 The u-blox NINA-B30 series are small sized radio modules intended for OEM integration utilizing Bluetooth 5, IEEE 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz proprietary mode and/or NFC. All 2.4 GHz RF-signals share the same RF-path thus it is not possible to transmit e.g. BLE and 802.15.4 signals simultaneously. The NFC receiver uses its own interface. It is intended to function as a short-range radio link transmitting and receiving information between portable and/or fixed electronic devices. The NFC interface is passive, supporting tag functionality only, and requires an external 13.56 MHz antenna to operate. An external NFC field is required to activate the NFC block of the module. The following three different antenna options (hardware options) are available for the NINA-B30 modules: • NINA-B301 with the RF-port presented at a solder land to be connected to an external antenna connector using the external antenna reference design (see separate document for more info). Different types of approved external antennas are available and can be used. See Table 2 for a list of approved antennas. • NINA-B302 equipped with an integral metal sheet PIFA antenna. • NINA-B306 equipped with an integrated PCB trace antenna.

NFC Data rate 106 kbps Frequencies 13.65 MHz Channels 1 channel *Depends on selected protocol Table 1: Radio data Configuration and software security The NINA-B30 modules have open CPU architecture tailored for OEMs who wish to embed their own application on top of the available 2.4 GHz radio platform. The FCC/IC modular transmitter approvals for NINA-B30 only allow u-blox AG to integrate the module into an end product. The integration of the module into an end product can only be made by the grantee itself. To allow someone else to integrate NINA-B30 into an end product, u-blox AG will help the integrator to obtain the status as grantee, by performing a “change in ID”/”Multiple listing”. The term “Change in ID” relates to § 2.933 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the term “Multiple listing” relates to section 8.4 of Radio Standards Procedure RSP-100. Any changes or modifications NOT explicitly APPROVED by the grantee may cause the module to cease to comply with the FCC rules 15, and thus void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
