Handset Reporting Period and Regulatory Context
On July 30, 2010, the Federal Communications Commission Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) released an informational compilation titled 'Information By Handset' under document record 300599 (DOC-300599A1). The record aggregates compliance and technical data filed by wireless device manufacturers for the reporting period spanning July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010.
The published report documents device availability windows, air interfaces, operational frequency bands, and compliance ratings for hearing aid compatibility (HAC), specifically evaluating radio frequency interference reduction (M-ratings) and inductive coupling capability (T-ratings) across certified mobile models.
- Document Title: Information By Handset (DOC-300599A1)
- Responsible Bureau: Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB)
- Release Date: July 30, 2010
- Coverage Period: July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010
Manufacturer Scope and Technical Parameters
The data table covers handset models marketed by numerous major equipment manufacturers, including Acer, Apple, Casio Hitachi, Doro, Hewlett-Packard, HTC, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Palm, Pantech, Research in Motion, Samsung, Sharp, Sony Ericsson, Symbol Technologies, Verykool, and ZTE.
Each entry outlines specific operational and testing metrics required for regulatory assessment. Reported parameters include air interface technologies such as GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, UMTS, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, iDEN, and WiMAX across diverse frequency allocations spanning 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2500 MHz bands.
Additionally, the document notes whether devices incorporate a Wi-Fi interface and records applicable ANSI standard versions (such as the 2005, 2006, and 2007 revisions) along with official M-rating and T-rating certification dates.
- Air interfaces: CDMA, GSM, WCDMA, UMTS, HSDPA, iDEN, and WiMAX
- Assessed operating frequencies: 700 MHz to 2500 MHz spectrum bands
- HAC metrics: M-Ratings (acoustic/RF interference) and T-Ratings (inductive telecoil coupling)
- ANSI version standards referenced: 2005, 2006, and 2007 iterations
