Does it also apply to WiFi? :)
- bitxbitxbitcoin 6y agoGood question! The way it is normally used: No. However, 2.4GHz and 5Ghz are in the frequencies alloted to licensed Hams so many do set up WiFi networks that can transmit stronger signals than off the shelf consumer wifi devices where this would certainly apply. tldr; No, if you aren't using an external antenna or firmware that would cause your WiFi device to change from being considered a Part 15 device to a Part 97 device under the FCC.
- chociej 6y agoWiFi is in the ISM (Industral, Scientific, and Medical) and certain "unlicensed" radio bands and, while there is spectrum shared between those bands and other services including ham, WiFi usage is regulated differently. This advisory applies to the Amateur Radio Service (ham) and Personal Radio Services (common walkie talkies)
