Title: 802.11 wireless question
Craig,
 
AFAIK, the devices can be used within a CUG-type environment in the UK without any licence because they comply with the Low Power RF spec MPT1340 [I think that's the right spec nr. !].  My understanding is that the Radio Agency is unhappy about use in Public areas (e.g. airports, train stations, etc.) tho heaven's knows why.
If you need range, suggest you consider hi-gain antenna.

I checked the US devices and they have a 'CE' label. So I assume it is possible to use these higher power 802.11d US devices _legally_ in the UK?

We also have a few more channels then them. The power thing is probably down to the EU. I know that in the US RC transmitters put out 500mW IIRC, in the UK we are limited to 100mW again IIRC - the point is they get way more power!

Ive just spoke to Dlink support, who said they are compatible. One thing they did say is the US equipment sends a stronger signal so has a better range than European equipment. He said European equipment is upto 100mW vs US euipment which is upto 1000mW. Not sure how true this is?
 
Thanks for your help guys!

Should do ... 802.11 is an agreed Standard spec.

Does anyone here know if 802.11 wireless cards purchased in the US will work with an 802.11 access point purchased in the UK, assuming they are from the same manufacture? Do they use the same spec/frequency/etc? Anyone done this?

TIA

Craig
