CAUTION: Use of
4.4 GHz radios in
the U.S. without gov-
ernment approval is
strictly forbidden.
United States - is the default area license, allowing
Mesh Points with standard-equipment radios to operate
in the United States in the 5 GHz and the 2.4 GHz
frequency bands, as regulated by the Federal
Communication Commission (FCC). Mesh Points with
one or more 4.4 GHz - 4.9 GHz radios are also licensed
by default for United States operation, but are regulated
by the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA), the parent agency of the FCC.
United States Public Safety - permits 4.9 GHz-
capable Mesh Points to operate in the 4.9 GHz
frequency band, reserved for official public safety
transmission in the United States. Every Mesh Point
that supports 5 GHz 802.11a operation also supports
4.9GHz 802.11a operation, when a
United States
Public Safety
license is installed.
World - area licenses the Mesh Point to operate
outside of the United States. You must further configure
the Mesh Point’s
Country Code, in order to bring the
Mesh Point into regulatory compliance for the domain in
which it will operate (refer to Section 3.3.1).
channel - enables UNII 2 extended channels 116, 132 and
136. In order to accommodate the FCC requirement for a
30 MHz guard band around Terminal Doppler Weather
Radar (TDWR) operating within 35 km, these channels are
available for selection only when a
channel license is
installed. Refer to Section 3.4.7 for additional information
on channel configuration.
NOTE:
mesh
license
is no longer
required; Fortress’s Fast-
Path Mesh bridging link
management function is
now enabled by default
and is no longer a licens-
able feature (refer to Sec-
tion 3.2.2).
suite-b - provides support for:
an additional key establishment method that employs
NSA (National Security Agency) Suite B cryptography
(Section 4.1.5). This feature applies to all Fortress
Mesh Points.
IPsec and L2TP functionality.
By default, only the default
United States Area license is
installed on radio-equipped Mesh Points.
