Hello all,
The current description for France in regdb.txt is?:
country FR: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
(5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS
# 60 gHz band channels 1-4, ref: Etsi En 302 567
(57240 - 65880 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), NO-OUTDOOR
Following this paper http://www.arcep.fr/uploads/tx_gsavis/08-0568.pdf
" D?cision n? 2008-0568" issued by the ARCEP (French Electronic
communications and Postoffice Regulation Authority) in the year 2008,
1) the frequencies 5150-5350 MHz are limited to INDOOR use.
(see page 5: "Dans la bande de fr?quences*5150-5350* MHz, les WAS/RLAN sont
limit?s ? une *utilisation int?rieure* ...")
2) the limits of the frequency band is ~20MHz greater for all frequency
values (5150 vs. 5170, 5350 vs. 5330, 5470 vs. 5490, 5725 vs. 5710)
So IMHO the description for France should read:
country FR: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
# ref: ARCEP 08-0568
http://www.arcep.fr/uploads/tx_gsavis/08-0568.pdf
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR
(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
(5470 - 5725 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS
# 60 gHz band channels 1-4, ref: Etsi En 302 567
(57240 - 65880 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), NO-OUTDOOR
By the way, this looks very like the description for Germany (DE) now!
