FCC ID:

MMB Research Inc. XFF-BRD21 Dear Sir/Madam, We hereby certify that the two product variants marketed as BRD21-OTBR and BRD21-OTME have exactly the same PCBA layout, RF design, RF performance, and antenna type. The differences between the 2 product variants are as follows:

BRD21-OTBR has its Ethernet interface enabled by firmware, while BRD21-OTME has its Ethernet interface disabled by firmware Various other differences in firmware functionality The above differences are not related to the RF Design or RF performance of the products. Given that BRD21-OTBR supports the additional Ethernet interface, this model was selected as the worst-case test sample. Dated:
