It should be noted that if they don't themselves design any of the modules that would require certification, but instead just use already certified third party modules, that greatly reduces the amount of testing their product needs.
I've read that can get the cost of FCC certification down $1-2k and the certification time us under 5 days.
If you design your own module, then it is $7-20k, and will take 4-6 weeks. (Once you've certified that, though, then if you reuse that same module in other products it is like using a third party certified module, so $1-2k for each subsequent product).
