RE: [WISPA] Foreign Antennas

2006-01-30 Thread Charles Wu
The matter of antenna certification rules was something that was clarified
by the FCC OET (Office of Engineering & Technology) & FCC Enforcement Bureau
at WiNOG last February in Chicago...(certification aside, the policies of
the Enforcement Bureau is what really matters to most, IMO =)

Copies of the original FCC presentations can be found online:
http://www.wispnog.com/chicago_2005/sessions.htm

A summary of the FCC discussion can be found on page 5 of our March 2005
newsletter (a thanks to Butch E and Forrest C for their nice write-ups last
year)

Antenna has to be certified as long as the radio, and then together they
both have to be certified. You could have a certified radio and antenna but
if they aren't certified to be used together then its illegal.

Gang,

I have found several 802.11b antennas produced outside the US that 
I'd like to use.  They are not FCC certified, however.  Do the antennas 
need to be fcc certified or just the radios?  This is assuming that all 
the gain/ERP rules are met.

Yes, it is.   I'm glad I don't do that kinda stuff...   One has enough
trouble staying out of trouble without inviting it...
