Region Codes in the 5.4GHz band
Motorola has removed the ability for customers/installers to
download certain Licence Keys from this website.
This is a temporary change and affects products operating in the
U-NII band at 5.4GHz (5470MHz to 5725MHz).
Reasons for the action:
- In many regions the 5.4GHz band is shared with Weather
Sensing radars which provide data to ensure safe aircraft
operations in the vicinity of the radar.
- In many regions regulators require that radio equipment
operating in the 5.4GHz band detect radar signals and avoid
interference to the radar systems.
- The FCC has received a number of reports of interference to
these safety-critical radars and has pressed radio industry to
take all actions it can to ensure that this interference is
stopped as soon as possible.
- Motorola is taking steps to improve the way in which License
Keys that disable DFS may be accessed for regions which do not
have a legal requirement to implement radar detection in this
band.
- During this intervening period, Motorola is temporarily
barring access to certain License Keys whilst the improved
process is rolled out
