USB Base Station employs a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio
transceiver for wireless communication. The radio is a direct-sequence spread spectrum radio
and can be configured to operate on 14 separate frequencies ranging from 2.405 GHz to 2.470
GHz. Following the 802.15.4 standard, these frequencies are aliased as channels 11 through
24. For all newly manufactured nodes, the default setting is 2.425 GHz (channel 15).
For standard models, radiated transmit power is programmable from 0 dBm (1 mW) to 16 dBm
(39 mW). A low-transmit power option is available (for use in Europe and elsewhere) and is
limited to 10 dBm (10 mW).
The radio complies with FCC Part 15 (USA) and IC (Canada) regulations. The radio is license-
free worldwide. Using antennas and transmission equipment other than what is provided may
void FCC compliance.
