If necessary, the Mesh Point filters options available for
individual radio settings (Section 3.4) according to the
requirements of the relevant regulatory domain as they apply to
the Mesh Point’s internal radios.
In order to comply with the requirements of the relevant
regulatory domain, the Country code must accurately identify
the country in which the Mesh Point will operate or, in the case
of the US Public Safety code, the context in which it will be
used.
The rules of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
regulatory domain dictate available radio settings in the 5 GHz
802.11a and the 2.4 GHz 802.11g frequency bands in the
United States.
The 4.4 GHz - 4.9 GHz frequency range is regulated by the United
States National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA). Use of 4.4 GHz radios in the U.S.
without government approval is strictly forbidden.
