outdoor radio links and/or for supplying public access to telecommunications
and/or network services.
These devices may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in
some areas the RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the frequency
range of 2454–2483.5 MHz For detailed information the end-user should contact
the national spectrum authority in France.

Countries of Operation and Conditions
of Use in the European Community
HiveAPs are intended to be operated in all countries of the European
Community. Requirements for indoor vs. outdoor operation, license
requirements and allowed channels of operation apply in some countries as
described below.
•
Before operating a HiveAP, the admin or installer must properly enter the
current country code as described in Aerohive product documentation.
Note to U.S. model owners: To comply with U.S. FCC regulations, the
country selection function has been completely removed from all U.S.
models. The above function is for non-U.S. models only.
•
HiveAPs automatically limit the allowable channels determined by the
current country of operation. Incorrectly entering the country of operation
might result in illegal operation and cause harmful interference to other
systems. The admin is obligated to ensure HiveAPs are operating according
to the channel limitations, indoor/outdoor restrictions and license
requirements for each European Community country as described in this
section.
•
HiveAPs can be operated indoors or outdoors in all countries of the
European Community using the 2.4 GHz band: Channels 1-13, except where
noted below:
–
In Italy and Luxembourg, you must apply for a license from the national
spectrum authority to operate a HiveAP outside your own premises and
for public use or service.
–
In Belgium outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.46 to 2.4835
GHz band: Channel 13.
–
In France outdoor operation is limited to the 2.454 to 2.4835 GHz band
(channels 8 to 13) at a maximum of 10 mW EIRP (effective isotropic
radiated power).
–
In Norway, the 2.4 GHz band cannot be used outdoors within a 20-km
radius of the center of Ny-Ålesund.
–
In Russia, the 2.4 GHz band is for indoor use only.
•
Because radar systems use some bands in the 5 GHz spectrum, WLAN
devices operating in these bands must use DFS (Dynamic Frequency
Selection) to detect radar activity and switch channels automatically to
avoid interfering with radar operations. For the ETSI region, the HiveAP
300 series is certified for the latest ETSI EN 301 893 v1.5.1 DFS
requirements and can use DFS channels 52 to 140 (5.26 GHz to 5.32 GHz,
and 5.5 GHz to 5.7 GHz). To comply with ETSI regulations when deploying a
HiveAP 300 series device outdoors, set the 5 GHz radio to operate on the
DFS channels and enable DFS. When deploying a HiveAP 300 series device
indoors, then the 5 GHz radio can also use channels 36 to 48 as well as the
DFS channels. The maximum transmit power for channels from 36 to 48 are
17dBm in the ETSI region. Because this maximum is enforced by HiveOS,
the HiveAP automatically limits the power to 17 dBm even if the setting is
greater than that.
•
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency
bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at installation
to match the intended destination. The firmware setting is accessible by
the end user. Some national restrictions are noted below:
–
In Italy and Luxembourg, you must apply for a license from the national
spectrum authority to operate a HiveAP outside your own premises and
for public use or service in the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz band (channels 36 to 64)
and 5.47 to 5.725 GHz band (channels 100 to 140).
–
In Russia, you can only use the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz band at 100 mW (20
dBm) indoors, in closed industrial and warehouse areas, and on board
aircraft for local network and crew communications during all stages of
a flight and for public WLAN access only at an altitude of 3000 meters or
higher. You can only use the 5.65 to 5.825 GHz band with 100 mW EIRP
on board aircraft at an altitude of 3000 meters or higher.
