RTL has acquired extensive
testing experience, and maintains a thorough knowledge of the FCC Rules
contained in CFR 47. The following list is just a sample of the types of
testing we perform, and is not all-inclusive:

We are able to obtain the latest interpretations and the more recent
rules from the FCC.
Additionally, RTL has a thorough knowledge of all appropriate standards
and procedures for testing and evaluating radio frequency devices, including
unlicensed and licensed radio equipment (e.g., 47 CFR Part 2, EIA/TIA
Standard 603, TIA/EIA-102.CAAA for digital modulation C4FM and CQPSK,
OST bulletin No53 - Cellular system compatibility specification, ANSI
C63.4 - 1992, FCC MP-5, FCC OET Bulletin 63 supplement C, etc.).
The following is a partial list of radio products tested recently under
CFR 47:
- Bluetooth module
- Direct Sequence and Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum devices (DSSS and FHSS)
- Radar
- Amplifiers (booster, repeater, and
extender)
- PCS and Cellular phones from single
band/single mode to dual band/tri-mode with AMPS, CDMA, TDMA,
and GSM modulation
- 2-way VHF/UHF/SMR Push-To-Talk (PTT)
radios including two-level FM modulation and four-level FM per
Project 25 (C4FM), Trunked mode, and QAM digital modulation
- Scanning receiver
- Field Disturbance Sensor (carrier ñ 24 GHz)
- Remote Control and Security Systems;
etc.
- 60 GHz point-to-point telecommunication
radio links

R&TTE:
RTL performs product testing and approval for various radio
equipment under the Annex III and Annex IV of the R&TTE directive
1999/5/EC. Approvals and notifications are coordinated with our Dutch
EU Notified
Body, TNO Certification B.V., and its U.S. office located in Connecticut.
RTL has a thorough working knowledge of ETSI harmonized standards, the
