European frequencies

[rmp]

Hi,

Was wondering what was the progress on the choice for the European band choice ?
Are you planning on using 868Mhz ?
Will that require specific antennas ?
Do you need to wait FCC certification to ship to Europe ?

@taylor , if you need anything on that subject I can track some info for you.

Hey!
I believe we are planning on using 865-868MHz in Europe. Our antennas work well for both 868MHz band applications and things in the 915MHz band, so no changes to the antenna are needed.

UK info below
The 869.4 to 869.65 MHz sub-band may be used for radiated powers up to 500 mW, based on 25 kHz channel spacing. You may combine consecutive channels for increased bandwidth, up to the maximum sub-band frequency allocation. The total signal bandwidth, including frequency stability, must be contained within the allocated sub-band under all conditions.

Would Flutter put out the full 500Mw? What would be the expected range?
