Hi, John - thank you for the suggested patch.
We have a couple of queries and comments on what is proposed so far for the list. 1) Our top 2 GHz in the 60 GHz band "64000 - 66000 MHz" is indoor only and comments are edited as such 2) Is it possible to define an indoor / outdoor limit inside the processing rules? I guess sensing this might prove problematic but could anyone advise on what other countries do? 3) As our limits are in EIRP, suggest to modify the patch to match the EIRP formatting in the processing rules 4) Can Transmitter power control be added to the patch, if so how is it enabled? 5) Finally can someone confirm to me the use of AUTO-BW as I can't find any direct reference to it in the processing rules? There is still a little more work on this, but this is our next iteration of the New Zealand patch +# 5150 MHz - 5250 MHz 80MHz channels, indoor use only at -7.0 dBW +EIRP TPC enabled # 5250 MHz - 5350 MHz 80 MHz channels, indoor use at +-7.0 dBW EIRP, outdoor use at 0 dBW EIRP with DFS and TPC enabled* # +5470 MHz - 5725 MHz 80 MHz channels, 0 dBW EIRP with DFS and TPC +enabled* # 5725 MHz - 5875 MHz 80 MHz channels, 6.0 dBW EIRP +# 57000 MHz - 64000 MHz, at 13.0 dBW EIRP # 64000 - 66000 MHz, +indoor use only at 13.0 dBW EIRP # *if TPC is not enabled, than transmit power must be +reduced by 3dB # +http://www.rsm.govt.nz/cms/licensees/types-of-licence/general-user-licences/short-range-devices country NZ: DFS-FCC (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (30) - (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (17), AUTO-BW - (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (24), DFS, AUTO-BW - (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (24), DFS - (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (30) + (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A,23), AUTO-BW + (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 23), DFS, AUTO-BW + (5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 30), DFS + (5725 - 5875 @ 80), (N/A, 36) + (57000 - 64000 @ 2160), (N/A, 43) -----Original Message----- From: John W.

I'm sorry that there has been no other response so far. Changes to our regulatory rules database are typically proposed in the form of a patch. This promotes specificity in making such changes. I suspect that you are unfamiliar with this form of change proposal, so I have taken a first whack at it. While I maintain the database, I am not as radio proficient as I perhaps should be. I normally leave writing such patches for others, and wait for some level of agreement to be reached before applying changes. In this case, it is quite likely that I have overlooked something or misinterpreted (or simply misunderstood) your change suggestions. I hope that you and others will take a moment to comment and/or suggest further changes to my proposed changes below. Without some affirmative commentary I will not apply any derivative of the changes specified below. Thanks!
