Hello everyone. If you consult the FCC website you see that the test data on the Evo Nano will be made public from 5/13/22 and those of the Lite will be made public from 5/17/22. So I certainly don't expect them to be shipped to customers before these dates. Have a nice day!
when you file with teh fcc, you can mark some of your documents and confidential and the fcc will keep them hidden from view until a certain timeframe (not forever). after that, they will be made visible to the public just like the original documents you filed on the submission date. it's a good way to keep the entire world from seeing exactly what you are launching before you launch the product but as you know, fcc documents are subject to public records requests. the process is submit a month or two before launch, mark as most of it you can "confidential." you really don't want the photos and the exact dimensions and other secrets to leak. so as you said, this is the "made available to public" date, not the ship date or the launch date. this is what a sample letter looks like:
