France
Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The worst case maximum authorized power indoors is:
l10 mW for the entire 2.4 GHz band (2400 MHz–2483.5 MHz)
l100 mW for frequencies between 2446.5 MHz and 2483.5 MHz (Note:Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate
in the band 2446.6 MHz to 2483.5 MHz)
There are few possibilities for outdoor use: On private property or on the private property of public persons, use is
subject to a preliminary authorization procedure by the Ministry of Defense, with maximum authorized power of 100
mW in the 2446.5–2483.5 MHz band. Use outdoors on public property is not permitted. In the departments listed
below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band:
lMaximum authorized power indoors is 100 mW
lMaximum authorized power outdoors is 10 mW
Departments in which the use of the 2400–2483.5 MHz band is permitted with an EIRP of less than 100 mW indoors
and less than 10 mW outdoors:
This requirement is likely to change over time, allowing the use your wireless LAN card in more areas within France.
