TATEMENT
The ECHO Range 95 is intended to be used by suitably trained individuals or organisations
that are familiar with the requirements of the R&TTE directive. In particular the client must
ensure that appropriate antennas and transmit power levels are selected to ensure that all
power limits are met. Hereby, SilverNet Limited declares that this device is in compliance
with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the R&TTE Directive
1999/5/EC. However, the use of the following warning symbol
Means that this equipment is subject to restrictions of use in certain countries and selection
of the correct country of operation (country code) will ensure that the device operates only
on
the frequencies permissible within that country. It is also the operator’s responsibility to
ensure that appropriate licenses have been sought when operating on licensed frequencies,
for example UK Band C, 5725-5850MHz.
In the UK, all radios operate under the control of Ofcom. Radio use in the 2.4 & 5GHz bands
are deemed to be Licence Exempt with the exception of Band C. Band C (5.725 to 5.825GHz)
requires registration with Ofcom under a light licensing scheme. While this band is still
effectively licence exempt, Ofcom wants to keep a register of all FWA links and charges a
small fee. Any user wishing to set up an outdoor link for FWA needs to apply to Ofcom for a
site license; the licence is not hard to obtain and is only £50 which includes registration of up
to 50 terminals. For every terminal beyond 50 you should add £1 to the cost of your licence.
Further information on the legal implications of Band C usage can be found on the Ofcom
website.
