hi, * ECC/DEC/(04)08 Harmonised use of 5 GHz for the implementation of WAS/RLANs: http://www.erodocdb.dk/Docs/doc98/official/pdf/ECCDEC0408.PDF ---cut--- [...] DECIDES 1. that this Decision designates the frequency bands 5.150-5.350 MHz and 5.470?5.725 MHz for the implementation of Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS/RLANs) and the use of equipment complying with the harmonised standard EN 301 893, which may also be demonstrated by compliance with equivalent technical specifications (in the sense of Article 3(2) of the R&TTE Directive); 2. that in the frequency band 5.150-5.350 MHz, WAS/RLANs stations shall be restricted to indoor use with a maximum mean e.i.r.p.1 of 200 mW and a maximum mean e.i.r.p. density of 10 mW/MHz in any 1MHz band; 3. that in the frequency band 5.470-5.725 MHz, the indoor and outdoor use of WAS/RLANs stations shall be restricted to a maximum mean e.i.r.p.1 of 1 W and a maximum mean e.i.r.p. density of 50mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band; 4. that, WAS/RLANs operating in the bands 5.250-5.350 MHz and 5.470-5.725 MHz shall either employ transmitter power control, which provides, on average, a mitigation factor of at least 3 dB on the maximum permitted output power of the systems; or, if transmitter power control is not in use, then the maximum permitted mean e.i.r.p.1 and the corresponding mean e.i.r.p. density limits in decides 2 and 3 shall be reduced by 3 dB; 5. that, WAS/RLANs operating in the bands 5.250-5.350 MHz and 5.470-5.725 MHz shall use dynamic frequency selection (DFS) as described in Recommendation ITU-R M. 1652 to ensure compatible operation with radiodetermination systems; 6. that, in addition to decides 5, the DFS mechanism shall ensure that the probability of selecting a given channel will be the same for all available channels. The intention is to provide, on average, a near-uniform spread of the loading of the spectrum; 7. that this Decision replaces the previous ERC Decision (99)23; 8. that this Decision shall enter into force on 30 October 2009; 9. that CEPT administrations shall communicate the national measures implementing this Decision to the ECC chairman and the Office when the Decision is nationally implemented."
