Regulatory Considerations for Radio Sets
In order to protect wireless telecommunication systems, local spectrum authorities may impose
restrictions on the use of radio sets. The mains regulatory regimes are those of the European
Community, which is governed by the R&TTE Directive, and USA/Canada which is governed by
USA CFR Ch. 47 and the equivalent Industry Canada regulations.
European Community
Radio-sets for use within the EU and most other European states are marked by one of the
following signs:
CE Mark. Radio-sets marked with this sign alone comply with harmonized standards and
use harmonized frequency bands. There is no limitation on their use and they do not require a
license.
CE Mark with an exclamation mark. Radio-sets marked with this mark comply with
harmonized standards but may use frequency bands which are not fully harmonized in all
member countries. Certain spectrum or telecommunications authorities may impose restrictions
on their use or require notification on the intention to operate them.
NNNN
CE Mark with an exclamation mark with a Notified Body number.
Same as above, but with the addition of a survey conducted by a Notified Body (an expert
opinion on the compliance of the radio-set with the various regulations).
The following AirMux-200 systems comply with European regulations:
• Airmux-200/F24E/ in the frequency range 2400-2485 MHz (RLAN). No restrictions on use.
• Airmux-200/F54E/ in the frequency range 5470-5725 MHz (HIPERLAN). The following
restrictions (at the date of publication of this manual) are applicable:
Germany: Frequency assignment by the Federal Network Agency is required
Italy: General authorization required if used outside own premises
Luxemburg: General authorization required for public service
Macedonia: Frequency band not yet harmonized
Romania: Frequency band not yet harmonized
Turkey: Frequency band occupied.
The user is alerted that this list may be not complete and that in case of a doubt, the local
spectrum authorities should be consulted.
Radio-sets that use other frequency bands or with high output power, are always marked with
and their use may be restricted.
USA and Canada
Radio-sets for use in USA or Canada require certification. They are marked with an FCC Identifier
(USA) or a certificate number (Canada).
