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 is 17 dBm 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.
• Because the frequency ranges 5.25 to 5.35 and 5.47 to 5.725 are
affected by DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection), HiveAP 20 and 28
models block channels 52 to 64 and 100 to 140.
• 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.
