Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp
There is also have a difference between accepted interpretations and trying to argue new interpretations. I would say you an attorney if you want to push through a new interpretation. While it may be supported in current law, unless there is a precedent then you are going to have to argue for it and win approval. Too often people like to argue in their own minds how something should be interpreted and then run with it. -Matt On Mar 9, 2009, at 4:48 PM, Jack Unger wrote: As I see it, there are two sources of information on FCC matters. 1.

Of course, Jack. Part of what adds up to confusion is that there's always questions that come up that don't have particularly clear answers by just reading the rules. And the rules are very short and to the point. It's easy to read them (the ones for 3650) through in a relatively short period of time, and yet still have answers. That's when interpretation of the rules comes into play, often in a very technological context, and I'd say a lawyer's not going to be a lot of help, unless he's technically at engineer level, and I'm not sure that all the FCC personell have been even asked all the questions, yet, that us creative types can dream up. insert witty tagline here - Original Message - From: Jack Unger jun...@ask-wi.com To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 1:48 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp As I see it, there are two sources of information on FCC matters. 1.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp
Your statement confuses me. Yes, there are EIRP maximums, but what I was saying still holds true. On one side alone, a higher gain antenna will listen to the remote side better, compensating for lower transmit power. That's why Canopy 5.2 is lucky to go 2 miles, yet you can achieve over 20 miles staying within 36 dB EIRP by using say an 8' dish on both sides. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: John Rock jo...@wirelessconnections.net Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 6:56 PM To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp EIRP is equivalent in measurements...

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp
I think the main confusion here is people are mixing up the Part 15 rules and the part 90 rules. Part 15 the whole system has to be type certified. In Part 90 the transmitter has to be certified along with other regulations. Part 90 is a different ball game people, it is licensed and WILL be enforced. Find the rules, read the rules and talk to a lawyer in the industry if you have any confusion. Your business maybe at stake if you mess up.

Remember that even with Part 90 devices, they still must comply with Part 15 requirements for unintentional radiators. This is covered with a Declaration of Conformity for the system typically. So the previous example of the XR3 + ARC + RB411 + PoE (sic) is technically only legal if it meets all Part 90 requirements (which it should according to the test report on file at the FCC) as well as Part 15 requirements for unintentional radiators. In this case, a Declaration of Conformity should be on file at the assembler's location. This is why the label is important. This kind of system built from modular components should include a label with a manufacturer name/model number, the contains FCC ID: xx, and the 2 required statements about unintentional interference. This information tells anyone including the FCC who to contact for intentional emission issues (P-90 in this example) as well as unintentional emission issues (P-15 in this case). If there is no label on there, then it is illegal by default. Then if there are problems with the intentional radiator, it is the module maker's problem (assuming the integration instructions were followed properly). Finally if there are problems with the unintentional emissions, it is the system assembler's problem. I know, I knowthis is a licensed, Part 90 band. So why does Part 15 even matter?

For instance, for the XR3, if you look on the grant: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/Eas731GrantForm.cfm?mode=COPYRequestTimeout=500application_id=930658fcc_id=SWX-XR3B The maximum output (in watts) is 4.2, 4.7, and 4.7 for emission designators (4M24D7D,8M44D7D,17M2D7D), or 5/10/20 MHz channel bandwidths respectively. Thats ~ 36dBm total *EIRP* If you look at the test report: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=900106native_or_pdf=pdf (Page 36) It shows the max tx power tested by the FCC Lab which still met spectral density requirements.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp
The FCC ULS requires that you enter the FCC ID of the radio that is being used, along with it's characteristics. That is easily done with an XR3 card. No where during the registration process does it say the radio and antenna and everything else has to be certified as a "system". I can complete a perfectly legal 3.65 registration filing, answering every single question honestly, using an XR3 card, inside an ARC antenna/enclosure with an RB411 board.

That is easily done with an XR3 card. No where during the registration process does it say the radio and antenna and everything else has to be certified as a system. I can complete a perfectly legal 3.65 registration filing, answering every single question honestly, using an XR3 card, inside an ARC antenna/enclosure with an RB411 board.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp
Antenna gain does matter. UBNT has only one certified antenna combination - or did back when I first filed for the license. Useful only for P2P, actually. You have to specificy EIRP, which UBNT's grant details, using the antenna specified. insert witty tagline here - Original Message - From: Mike Hammett wispawirel...@ics-il.net To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 9:38 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] 3.65 ptp Not mine, but http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseLocDetail.jsp?keyLoc=15533393licKey=2969764rsc=NN That's a Ubiquiti XR3.
