Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP)
In countries like USA and Canada, radio can be installed with any directional antennas gain, as there is no Effective Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP) limit for the application of these systems for fixed point-to-point applications in the 5.8 GHz frequency
band. In other bands and in other countries, EIRP limits may apply. In the case of EIRP limits, use the lower values of either

) or the EIRP limit, within the Link Budget equation. You should check this calculation in both the directions to
assure legal application. An EIRP limit is the maximum RF energy that can be transmitted as measured at the transmitting
antenna and is usually deterwmined by government regulations. For details, we recommend you to refer the Max EIRP values
listed under the Wireless Interface properties, in the Edge
