The broadcast power at which the WiFi, XBee 2.4GHz, XBee 868MHz, XBee 900MHz operate can be limited through the
configuration software. It is the responsibility of the installer to choose the correct power in each case, considering the following
limitations:
The broadcast power of any of the modules added to that of the antenna used minus the loss shown by the pigtail and the cable
that joins the connector with the antenna (in the event of using an extra connection cable) must not exceed 20dBm (100mW)
in the 2.4GHz frequency band and 27dBm for the 868MHz band, according to the ETSI/EU regulation.
It is the responsibility of the installer to configure the different parameters of the equipment correctly, whether hardware or
software, to comply with the pertinent regulation of each country in which it is going to be used.
Specific limitations for the 2.4GHz band.
