It’s been a complicated process to get the 5G Moto Mod engineered for best practices interacting with the new network. An FCC shutdown didn’t help things.
The 5G Moto Mod accessory, which will allow the Verizon-exclusive Moto Z3 to access the new network, has finally had its radiofrequency testing papers published by the FCC.
The SAR test report from Sporton Lab shows that Motorola had put the device in for testing on September 28 — nearly two months after the Moto Z3 was introduced to press — began testing on October 15 and finished on December 18. Between then and the current date, there was a multi-week shutdown that affected the FCC’s ability to process requests for product RF certification.
Another concern that may have complicated the process was millimeter wave radiofrequencies, a major component to Verizon’s 27GHz 5G network.
