Please forgive my ignorance, but as am I wrong in assuming that a device designed to operate meeting IEEE 802.11 standards would already meet the requirements for adaptive equipment introduced in the ETSI standard?

(the oldest OJ I have on record is 2008 and it's on there). There were a lot of complaints that the section on Medium Access Protocol was not clear enough and people did not know what it meant. Or, they knew what it meant but didn't know how thorough it needed to be. We knew that IEEE 802.11 had it and we knew that Bluetooth hopped away from trouble. Zigbee was listed in the scope of the standard so we all felt happy about IEEE 802.15.4. But what about everything else? Industry called out for a better explanation and more clarification, which is summarised as the text we are discussing below. So, it is simply a clarification of an existing requirement. It's not some sudden new requirement. EN 300 328 V1.8.1 makes it even more clear and removes the requirement for clarifications in the OJ. As a final comment, yes, there are manufacturers involved in the ETSI group for EN 300 328. :-) Thanks, Michael.
