OneKey Classic (C1) Wallet Passes Japan MIC Radio Certification

In the global consumer electronics market, Japan is renowned for its rigorous standards regarding product quality and radio frequency management. Any device with wireless communication capabilities intending to enter the Japanese market must obtain the "Technical Regulations Conformity Certification," commonly known as the "Giteki" certification, recognized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).

Recently, OneKey's classic hardware wallet, OneKey Classic (Model: C1), officially passed the strict review of Japan's Radio Law and obtained the Certificate of Type Approval (Radio) issued by the certification body Bay Area Compliance Laboratories Corp. (BACL).

[cite_start]The certificate number is 211-231003 [cite: 731][cite_start], issued on November 22, 2023[cite: 742]. This marks that the OneKey Classic wallet fully complies with Japanese national standards in wireless radio frequency specifications and has officially secured its "passport" to the Japanese market.

Part 1: What is this certification and what is its core significance?

MIC Certification is a mandatory certification for wireless equipment in Japan. [cite_start]According to the certificate, the authorization for OneKey Classic is based on the Radio Law (Law No. 131, 1950) and Amendments[cite: 732].

1. The Legal "ID Card" for the Japanese Market

In Japan, selling or using wireless equipment without MIC certification is illegal. [cite_start]Obtaining the certification number 211-231003 [cite: 731] means that the OneKey Classic can now legally display the "Giteki" mark (the symbol resembling a post office mark) on its body or software. This is crucial for the compliant listing of OneKey Classic on major Japanese retail channels and eliminates legal risks for Japanese users.

2. Ensuring the "Purity" of Wireless Communication

Japan has limited radio spectrum resources, leading to extremely high requirements for anti-interference capabilities. [cite_start]This certificate proves that the Bluetooth module of OneKey Classic has passed precision testing by BACL laboratories[cite: 723], ensuring stable connections in complex signal environments without causing interference to Japan's existing communication infrastructure.

Part 2: What requirements must be met to pass this certification?

Japanese radio regulations have millimeter-level requirements for technical details. According to the detailed parameters disclosed in the certificate, OneKey Classic passed the "devil tests" on the following key technical indicators:

1. Strictly Defined Low Power Data Communication System

[cite_start]The certificate explicitly categorizes OneKey Classic (C1) as equipment under "Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 19", which refers to Low Power Data Communication System in the 2.4 GHz Band[cite: 731].

• [cite_start]Frequency Range: The device operates in the 2402-2480 MHz band, covering 40 channels (40 CH)[cite: 731]. These are the standard physical layer parameters for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, ensuring seamless connection with various smartphones and computers.
• [cite_start]Modulation: Utilizing F1D modulation[cite: 731], an efficient digital transmission method that guarantees the accuracy and security of transaction data during transmission.

2. Extreme Low Power and Safety

• [cite_start]Antenna Output Power: The certificate shows that the Antenna Output Power of OneKey Classic is only 0.5 mW (milliwatt)[cite: 731]. This is a remarkably low figure (Bluetooth devices typically range from 2.5mW to 10mW). Extremely low transmission power not only means that radiation from OneKey Classic to the human body is negligible and highly safe, but it also significantly reduces battery consumption, extending standby time.
• [cite_start]Antenna Type: The device is equipped with a PCB Antenna with a gain of 0 dBi[cite: 731]. This integrated design saves space while ensuring uniform signal coverage.

3. High Standards for Specified Radio Equipment

[cite_start]This certification falls under "Specified Radio Equipment" as specified in Article 38-2-2, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Radio Law[cite: 731]. This means OneKey Classic has undergone a comprehensive checkup ranging from frequency deviation and occupied bandwidth to spurious emission intensity, fully complying with Japanese industrial standards.

Part 3: Future Outlook

OneKey Classic's successful acquisition of the Japan MIC certification is a significant milestone in OneKey's cultivation of the high-end Asian market.

1. Accelerating Layout in the Japanese Web3 Market

Japan has a massive crypto asset user base and a mature Web3 regulatory system. With the MIC certificate in hand, OneKey will accelerate its localization operations in the Japanese market, providing Japanese users with a hardware wallet option that is safe, reliable, and compliant with local laws and regulations.

2. Commitment to "Precision Manufacturing"

Japanese certification is known for its rigor. Passing this certification once again proves to global users that OneKey Classic has reached a world-class level in hardware design, RF tuning, and manufacturing craftsmanship. Whether you are on the bustling streets of Tokyo or in any other corner of the world, OneKey Classic can provide you with a consistently high-quality connection experience.
