Thanks for this information, and apologies for taking so long to review
this. A few comments.

Based on the translation of the document, I think this is fine.

I believe this range requires TPC, which we don't support. So based on
ETSI EN 301 893 the maximum allowed without TPC is 20 dBm, i.e. what's
is what's currently in the database.

Again this requires TPC, so based on ETSI EN 301 893 this has to remain
at 27 dBm.

The document you linked to only specifies this range being usable for
fixed wireless access, so I don't think it belongs in the database.

I'm not sure we should add this ... on the one hand I'm not certain
whether or not it's meant to apply to fixed wireless access or other P2P
sorts of connections, and on the other hand the kernel doesn't appear to
do anything different if this flag is set. So I think it's not going to
be safe to add these rules.

This one looks okay.

Thanks,
