Elliott and ATCB offer Wireless seminar this November!

Elliott Laboratories and American TCB will present the latest information on FCC, Canadian, European, and international certification requirements in a seminar titled Testing and Certification of Wireless Devices. This two-day seminar featuring information on International Approvals will be presented on November 13 and 14, 2006 at the Sheraton Sunnyvale Hotel, California.

Who should attend this seminar
This seminar is being presented to designers, developers, and testers of wireless products. As the technologies evolve, the regulations for measurement and certification of wireless products are constantly evolving and creating challenges for electronics industry. Keeping abreast of these changes and the nuances of the regulations is critical for speeding electronics products' time-to-market. Fierce competition from rival developers creates additional pressure to design the devices for compliance with the regulatory requirements and "getting it right the first time."

Why attend this seminar
New spectrum and services are being allocated in the US and abroad as the demand for higher speed and multi-point access to information pushes developers to create highly integrated products. Exotic, broadband modulation techniques cram more bits-per-hertz into the allocated spectrum. As it is not uncommon to find multiple-transmitter devices, the challenge to certify these devices creates issues dealing with radiation hazards, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and certification strategies.

Instructors:
Our lecturers have a wealth of experience and information in the field of product certification and will share their perspective and insight on the regulations and evolving requirements for radio frequency systems.

- Art Wall, Former Deputy Chief of the FCC Laboratory
- Dennis Ward, Reviewing Engineer, AmericanTCB
- David Bare, Chief Technical Officer, Elliott Laboratories

The goal of this seminar is to present the latest information on these evolving requirements and to give attendees better understanding of the processes and procedures for approving Wireless equipment.

EU Parliament Approves New Battery Directive

The Parliament of the European Union (EU) has approved a directive that establishes aggressive EU-wide targets for the collection of spent batteries and accumulators.

Under the provisions of the EU's new battery directive, EU member states will be expected to implement national requirements that will achieve minimum battery collection rates of 25% by 2012 and 45% by 2016. To do so, manufacturers and distributors will be required to take back all used portable batteries and accumulators at no cost to consumers, and to establish convenient recycling collection points by not later than the end of 2008.

Until the final version of the directive has been published in the Official Journal, our readers can view the joint text of the directive approved by the Conciliation Committee at this link.
