U Differences from USA and Asia
The USA and Asia use different frequency bands and different maximum sig-
nal strengths to the European standard.
In the USA, three sub-bands, each 100 MHz wide, are used for wireless net-
works in the 5 GHz band. The "lower band" ranges from 5150 - 5250 MHz,
the "middle band" ranges from 5250 - 5350 MHz and the "upper band" rang-
es from 5725 - 5825 MHz. In the lower band, a maximum average EIRP of
50 mW is permitted; in the middle band this is 250 mW and 1 W in the upper
band.
In Japan, the use of the 5 GHz band is possible to a limited extent: only the
lower band of 5150 - 5250 MHz is released for private use.
3.10.2 Radio channels in the 5 GHz band:
In the usable frequency space of 5.13 to 5.805 GHz, up to 19 channels are
available in Europe, divided into frequency ranges to which different condi-
tions of use can apply:
D 5150 -5250 MHz (channels 36, 40, 44 and 48)
D 5250 - 5350 MHz (channels 52, 56, 60 and 64)
D 5470 - 5725 MHz (channels 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132,
136 and 140)
D 5725 - 5875 MHz (channels 147, 151, 155 and 167)
Note: Note that the frequency ranges and radio channels in the 5725 to 5875
MHz range can only be used in Great Britain.
The following overview shows which channels may be used in the different
regions.
