Yes. Please note the FCC R&R...
15.407 General technical requirements.
[...]
(d) Any U-NII device that operates in the 5.15-5.25
GHz band shall use a transmitting antenna that is
an integral part of the device.
(e) Within the 5.15-5.25 GHz band, U-NII devices
will be restricted to indoor operations to reduce
any potential for harmful interference to co-channel
MSS operations.
