Correction of wireless-regdb for GB

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, I think that the wireless regdb for GB domain can be corrected:

According to Ofcom, in 2017 the rules were updated for the 5725-5850Ghz range to allow a power output of 200mW (the max power output is much higher still for fixed wireless where a £50 licence is purchased)

Reference to the latest Ofcom document is here (IR-2030):

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0028/84970/ir-2030.pdf


My reading of this is that DFS is currently required and I *assume* also the wmm would be the same as the rest of the range. I'm not sure if this rule needs an AUTO-BW?

(Note also that Ofcom opened a proposal to remove the DFS requirement on this frequency band (and to add new 5Ghz bands). Results of this are due later in 2020.)


Therefore I think that the db.txt should say:


|

country GB: DFS-ETSI
...

	# Reference (IR-2030)
	(5725 - 5875 @ 80), (200 mW), DFS, AUTO-BW, wmmrule=ETSI

|

|Could someone appropriate please check this and update upstream.|

|Thanks|
