Hi,

Can you please confirm that:

1) while the FCC (US) limits both the IR and EIRP, the ETSI (Europe) limits only the EIRP?

2) the UNII-3 (Upper Band) can not be used in EUROPE?

Regards,

Vincenzo

Well, in Spain (where I live in) the CNAF only specifies EIRP (p.i.r.e. in Spanish):

We can use the following bands (as in UN-128 regulation):
5150 - 5250 MHz @ 200mW EIRP
5250 - 5350 MHz @ 200mW EIRP with TPC or 100mW without TPC
5470 - 5725 MHz @ 1 W EIRP with TPC or 500 mW without.

This leaves U-NII-3 band out.

I suppose we are following European regulations.

Ok, thanks! That's exactly what I thought.

Btw, thanks to Ruckus support, I discovered that in some european countries the UNII-3 band can be used under special conditions. In Germany for example you have to apply to use the upper bands and you might use them for a limited amount of time and only if you are an enterprise.

Don't know if it's the same for Spain or Italy.
