1.3 Approved Antennas for Unlicensed Bands
Due to regulatory requirements, only approved antennas should be used for the unlicensed 2.4
and 5 GHz bands. The substitution of other antennas may be permissible but depending on the
characteristics of the substitute antennas, appropriate engineering, and testing. Certain
changes may require regulatory filings. In addition, antenna separation requirements are
mandated by the FCC (USA) and ISED (Canada) (see the Required Antenna Separation section
for details).
1.4 LTE Antenna & EIRP Requirements
LTE capable Osprey devices utilize a Sierra Wireless LTE module. This module has specific
requirements for the antennas. EIRP limits as well as antenna characteristics should be
maintained when selecting appropriate antennas.
