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 [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

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.

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.
