Differentiate USRP Country-of-Origin Part Number Variants

Updated Jul 17, 2026

Issue Details

I need to understand how Country-of-Origin (COO) options apply across USRP models. I am seeing multiple part numbers for what appears to be the same hardware and want to clarify how they differ.
Specifically, I would like to know:
  • What the differences are between USRP part numbers that only vary by suffix (for example, -01 vs -02)
  • Whether COO affects performance, specifications, or hardware components
  • Which USRP models offer multiple COO variants
  • How to determine which version to select based on application or procurement requirements

Solution

USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) devices may be offered with multiple part numbers that differ only by Country of Origin (COO). The differences and selection considerations are outlined below:
  • Identify part number differences
    • USRP part numbers with suffix variations (for example, -01, -02) may represent different COO variants
    • These variants correspond to manufacturing location (for example, Malaysia or Hungary)
  • Understand impact on performance and specifications
    • Note that COO variants do not affect RF performance, FPGA functionality, throughput, or feature set
    • Expect identical system-level behavior regardless of COO designation
    • Treat COO as a logistical or compliance attribute rather than a technical differentiator
  • Determine when COO matters
    • Select a specific COO variant when required for:
      • Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance
      • Government or defense procurement requirements
      • Customer-specific sourcing restrictions
    • Use the standard COO option for general commercial, academic, and research applications when no restrictions apply
  • Review examples of USRP models with COO variants
    The following USRP models are confirmed to have multiple COO options:
    • USRP X440
      • 788670-01 — Malaysia
      • 788670-02 — Hungary
    • USRP X410
      • 787272-01 — Malaysia
      • 787272-02 — Hungary
    • USRP B206mini-i
      • 789155-01 — Malaysia
      • 789155-02 — Hungary
  • Select the appropriate version
    • Choose -01 variants for standard procurement and general usage
    • Choose -02 variants when a Hungary COO is required for compliance or sourcing reasons
