Hi, studying the three documents WLAN 5GHz (Vfg. 7/2010) http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38216/publicationFile/6579/WLAN5GHzVfg7_2010_28042010pdf.pdf WLAN 2.4GHz (Vfg. 89/2003) http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38214/publicationFile/2557/FundstelleId313pdf.pdf Frequenznutzungsplan http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38448/publicationFile/2659/Frequenznutzungsplan2008_Id17448pdf.pdf I think the data in db.txt is slightly inaccurate. Find below my suggested entry into db.txt. Suggested changes: * Updated references (they restructured their webserver/CMS it seems) * Split 5150 -- 5350 range into two - the first range does not require DFS * 5470 -- 5725 does not have a NO-OUTDOOR requirement - (and 500mW translates to 27db, not 26db AFAICT) Sidenote: The values include lowering txpower by a factor of 2 (3db) for non TPC devices -- the wording in Vfg. 7/2010 does NOT require this for 5150 -- 5250; so we could actually use 200mW/23db there. As this is out of line with the neighbour countries, I have sticked with the conservative value of 100mW here. What is the process for checking the correctness and getting the crda DB updated? 8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Data from "Frequenznutzungsplan" (as published in April 2008), downloaded from # http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38448/publicationFile/2659/Frequenznutzungsplan2008_Id17448pdf.pdf # For the 5GHz range also see # http://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/38216/publicationFile/6579/WLAN5GHzVfg7_2010_28042010pdf.pdf # The values have been reduced by a factor of 2 (3db) for non TPC devcies # (in other words: devices with TPC can use twice the tx power of this table). country DE: # entries 279004 and 280006 (2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW) # entry 303005 (5150 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR # entries 304002 and 305002 (5250 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS # entries 308002, 309001 and 310003 (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 500 mW), DFS 8<------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Or in db, as displayed by iw reg get) country DE: (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20) (5150 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR (5250 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 27), DFS PS: I'm not subscribed, please copy responses to me.
