How much power can I use on my 2.4 GHz
PtP system in Canada?
According
to Canadian
RSS-210 Issue 5, Amended Nov. 30, 2002, 2.4 GHz DSSS
point-to-point transmitters may use up to a 30 dBm (1 watt)
transmitter. EIRP is limited to 200 watts (23 dBW). Power
levels above 4 watts (36 dBm) EIRP are permitted only for
point-to-point (PtP) systems. However, remote stations of
point-to-multipoint (PtMP) systems shall be permitted to
operate at the PtP EIRP limit provided that the higher EIRP
is acheived by employing higher gain directional antennas
and not higher transmitter output powers.

How
much power can I use on my 2.4 GHz PtMP system in Canada?
According
to Canadian
RSS-210 Issue 5, Amended Nov. 30, 2002, 2.4 GHz DSSS
PtMP radios (Access Points) may use up to a 30 dBm (1
watt) transmitter and are limited to 4 watts (36 dBm)
EIRP.
This
is 30 dBm (1 watt) into a 6 dBi antenna. If you use
a 10 dBi antenna, you must limit your transmitter (or amplifier)
to 26 dBm (10 + 26 = 36 dBm). For a 14 dBi panel antenna,
this allows a 22 dBm transmitter (or amplifier). Power is
measured at the antenna connector, so subtract any cable loss
between the amplifier and the antenna. Refer to
the following table:
