All electronic devices in the United States need approval from the FCC before they hit the market; it’s usually (but not always) the last stop between Engineering or Manufacturing and Sales. Google has filed an application for Glass for Enterprise, the refined business version of the Glass that the company sold to “explorers” up until early this year.
The enterprise version of Glass appears to have hinged temple bars and is generally more of a finished piece of work, water-resistant and more rugged than the first pass.
Internals of the new Glass have been previously reported, and 9to5Google says they’ve been corroborated by the Wall Street Journal. The FCC filing is still mostly safe from prying eyes — the manual isn’t publicly accessible, nor are details of the technical testing — but there are photos you can look at if you like.
Don’t count on buying this directly from Google though. This is no developer’s program. You want one of these, you’ll need to go through a Glass for Work reseller, the identity of which you can expect to hear about soon.
All electronic devices in the United States need approval from the FCC before they hit the market?
Really
No they don’t.
Now that I know the author can’t get core facts correct, I can ignore the rest of the content and other papers from this person,
The FCC ONLY regulates RF devices, not ALL electronic devices. The FCC does not have the authority to approve ALL electronic devices, nor do they have the resources to do so.
There is no govt agency charged to approve ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
How moronic.
If you can find an electronic device in your home that doesn’t require FCC approval or carry an FCC seal, please post it here. If there’s a device with a processor, it’s pretty much going to have RF impact.
Ignoring goes both directions. Happy new year.
