Always turn OFF the power to the AP device before undertaking maintenance activities in front of the
antenna.

Chapter 1: About This User Guide 9

Important regulatory information
The Enterprise Wi-Fi AP product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not
allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).

Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated special
requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices. Unlicensed
devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.

The Enterprise Wi-Fi APs detects and avoids functionality for countries and frequency bands requiring
protection for radar systems. The Enterprise Wi-Fi APs is qualified for ETSI/FCC DFS certification (see
Note ) for radar detection and avoidance as per the law.

Note

Country-specific limits apply, some bands require Dynamic Frequency Selection

(DFS). DFS bands operation subject to regulatory approval. Check Software
release notes for details.

Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet these
requirements, users must set the correct country code during commissioning of the Enterprise Wi-Fi APs

Power density exposure limit

This section includes the following topics:

Chapter 1: About This User Guide 15

 l Calculation of power density and distance

l Calculated distances and power compliance margins

Install the radios for the platform family of wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum
separation distances from all persons.

The applicable FCC power density exposure limit for RF energy in the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands is 1
mW/cm2.

The applicable ISEDC power density exposure limit for RF energy in unlicensed bands is 0.02619 * (f^
(0.6834)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band. For licensed bands, the power density
exposure limit is 0.6455 * (f^ (0.5)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band.

Calculation of power density and distance

The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that it provides a worst-case
analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required.

Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:

Where:

l P – Maximum average transmit power capability of the radio, in W

l G – total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB

l S – power density (W/m²)

l d – Distance from point source, in cm (Centimeters)
