5.1.9 EIRP Compliance at 3650 MHz

To maintain regulatory compliance for Effective Isotropic Radiated

Power (EIRP) of

1-Watt per MHz

, the following table of transmit

power settings must be observed for the listed bandwidths and antenna

types approved. Consult the factory for other antenna options of lower

gain.

The antennas used to support operation in this band must be fixed mounted.
