WavePoint 10e
Example:
2.4GHz with a 24 inch dish has a maximum output of 24dBm.
2.4GHz with a 27 inch dish has a maximum output of 23dBm.
Point-to-Point Link
Note: The FCC permits a maximum of 36dBm EIRP when using a transmitter set to
30dBm.
However, for each 1dBm reduction in the transmitter power, the FCC permits an
increase in antenna gain of 3dBi.
Extrapolating this rule through different maximum power settings on the WavePoint provides
these guidelines.
Guidelines
Maximum Power
from Transmitter
Maximum Antenna
Gain (dBi)
EIRP (dBm)
30dBm 6 36
29dBm 9 38
28dBm 12 40
27dBm 15 42
26dBm 18 44
25dBm 21 46
24dBm 24 48
23dBm 27 50
22dBm 30 52
Note: FreeWave has certified a dish antenna with a maximum gain of 27dBi.
This sets the maximum EIRP of a FreeWave system to 50 EIRP.
Dishes below 27dBi can be used with a corresponding reduction in total EIRP.
Point-to-Multi-Point Link
For Point-to-Multi-Point links, the FCC permits 1 Watt output power at the transceiver and 36dBm (4
Watts) at the antenna.
