Electronic Communications Act, 2005 (Act No. 36 of 2005)RegulationsRegulations on the use of Television White Spaces, 20188. Location Specific Maximum Permitted Radiated Power Levels |
| (1) | The maximum allowed to transmit EIRP of WSD must not exceed the values shown in Table 1. |
| (2) | The secondary GLSD may instruct the Master WSD to adjust to lower EIRPs than those shown in Table 1 in order not to exceed the incumbent's protection thresholds. |
| (3) | An additional 7dB of power must be added to the maximum EIRP level per 8 MHz channel for WSDs operating indoors to compensate for in-building penetration losses. |
