It does.
That's why I said I wanted to look them up and see what they are up to with
claiming certification.
I saw no registration # in the datasheet I looked at.

They may simply be pulling a "Mikrotik" and thinking that we will read
"completely certified product" just because they used an FCC certified radio
module.

I thought certification had to be acquired for a complete package, hardware
AND software. Have I misunderstood?

I haven't (yet) found specifications on the transmit power of the AR2316
single-chip-AP, but most Atheros gear can be configured to run at up to
24dBm or so. Meanwhile, according to Ubiquiti's spec sheet, the antenna in
this unit has 18dBm gain. If you set the software to use the maximum power
the card supports, you're probably over the legal EIRP limit.

Wouldn't a hardware/software combination that will let you exceed power
limits (because it doesn't know what kind of antenna you're using, so it
can't even pop up a warning) be a Bad Thing?
