FCC 2.4 GHz BAND RULES (POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT)

Maximum = +36dBm (4watts)

 *1 The FCC terminology of Intentional Radiator is the transmitter power of the wireless equipment, such as a wireless access point, router or bridge.

FCC 2.4 GHz BAND RULES (POINT-TO-POINT)

Maximum = See FCC Special Rule *2

*1 The FCC terminology of Intentional Radiator is the transmitter power of the wireless equipment, such as a wireless access point, router or bridge.

*2 The FCC ruling states that for every 1dBi the Intentional Radiator is reduced below the initial 30dBm that the antenna gain may be increased from the initial 6dBi by 3dB.

*3 Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is terminology for the total RF power radiated by the antenna.

FCC 5 GHz BANDS AND RULES

*1 The FCC terminology of Intentional Radiator is the transmitter power of the wireless equipment, such as a wireless access point, router or bridge.

*2 Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) is terminology for the total RF power radiated by the antenna.

*3 Fixed point-to-point in the UNII-3 band may utilize directional antennas up to 23dBi gain without any corresponding reduction of the Intentional Radiator's RF output power. If antennas higher than 23dBi gain are utilized, a reduction of 1 dB is required for every 1 dB increase in the antenna gain above 23dBi.

*4 The FCC point to multipoint rule is the maximum power from the intentional radiator + maximum antenna gain of 6 dBi. For every 1 dB gain over 6 dB the power of the intentional radiator must be reduced by 1 dB.

*5 FCC Part 15.407 defines the power limits. For example, in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band the maximum conducted output power over the frequency band of operation shall not exceed the lesser of 50 mW or 4 dBm + 10 log B, where B is the 26-dB emission bandwidth in MHz. In addition, the peak power spectral density shall not exceed 4 dBm in any 1-MHz band. We have shown the lesser amount of 40mW as the IEEE documents have done. We have applied the same concept to the other bands.
