2. NBTC has 2 main different departments:
　2.1 Telecommunication department: This department approve class B, class A, and Sdoc for WWAN/RFID/Wifi/Bluetooth/etc.
　2.2 Broadcasting department: This new notification is issued from this broadcasting department. So it becomes that if product is with Wifi/Bluetooth (telecommunication) and DAB digital radio receiver (Broadcasting), it will require 2 Sdocs 1) Sdoc from telecommunication department (for wifi/bluetooth function) and 2) Sdoc from broadcasting department (for DAB receiver function). Both Sdocs will be process separately with separate cost and documentation process. 2 Sdocs will be issued.
