FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 15

[ET Docket No. 13-49; FCC 14-30]


Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in 
the 5 GHz Band

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 1, 2014, the Commission released a Report and Order, 
``Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 
5 GHz Band.'' This document contains corrections to the final 
regulations for ``Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-
NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band'' that appeared in the Federal Register 
on May 1, 2014 (79 FR 24569).

DATES: Effective December 23, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aole Wilkins, Office of Engineering 
and Technology, (202) 418-2406 or email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1756787b7239407e7b7c7e79645771747439707861"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="43022c2f266d142a2f282a2d30032520206d242c35">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 76903]]

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction 
relates to ``Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) 
Devices in the 5 GHz Band'' under Sec.  15.407(a)(1).

Need for Correction

    As published, the revised text in the final regulations contains 
errors that are misleading and need immediate correction.

List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 15

    Communications equipment, Radio.

    Accordingly, 47 CFR part 15 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendment:

PART 15--RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES

0
1. The authority citation for part 15 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  47 U.S.C. 154, 302a, 303, 304, 307, 336, 544a, and 
549.

0
2. Section 15.407 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1)(iii) to read 
as follows:


Sec.  15.407  General technical requirements.

    (a) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (iii) For fixed point-to-point access points operating in the band 
5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the frequency 
band of operation shall not exceed 1 W. In addition, the maximum power 
spectral density shall not exceed 17 dBm in any 1 megahertz band. Fixed 
point-to-point U-NII devices may employ antennas with directional gain 
up to 23 dBi without any corresponding reduction in the maximum 
conducted output power or maximum power spectral density. For fixed 
point-to-point transmitters that employ a directional antenna gain 
greater than 23 dBi, a 1 dB reduction in maximum conducted output power 
and maximum power spectral density is required for each 1 dB of antenna 
gain in excess of 23 dBi. Fixed, point-to-point operations exclude the 
use of point-to-multipoint systems, omnidirectional applications, and 
multiple collocated transmitters transmitting the same information. The 
operator of the U-NII device, or if the equipment is professionally 
installed, the installer, is responsible for ensuring that systems 
employing high gain directional antennas are used exclusively for 
fixed, point-to-point operations.
