Operational Requirements
In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:
1. The maximum peak power output of the intentional radiator shall not exceed one (1)
watt for all spread-spectrum systems operating in the 2.4000-2.4835 GHz band.
2. Systems operating in the 2.4000-2.4835 GHz band that are used exclusively for fixed,
point-to-point operations may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain
greater than 6 dBi, provided the maximum peak output power of the intentional
radiator is reduced by 1 dB for every 3 dB that the directional gain of the antenna
exceeds 6 dBi.
3. Stations operating in the 2.400-2.4835 GHz band that are used for fixed, point-to-
multipoint operations may use transmitting antennas of directional gain greater that 6
dBi, provided the peak output power from the intentional radiator is reduced by the
amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi.
4. Fixed, point-to-point operation, as used in Point 2, excludes the use of point-to-
multipoint systems, omni-directional applications, and multiple co-located intentional
radiators transmitting the same information. The operator of the spread-spectrum
intentional radiator or, if the equipment is professionally installed, the installer is
responsible for ensuring that the system is used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point
operations.
5. The operator of a spread-spectrum system is responsible for ensuring that the system
is operated in the manner outlined in
Interference Environment on page x and
Operational Requirements on page xi.
