Summary
The harmonised European standard for wideband data transmission equipment in the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth included; one voluntary way to show conformity with the EU Radio Equipment Directive.
Key findings
- Limits RF output power to 20 dBm e.i.r.p., for frequency-hopping and other equipment alike.
- Equipment that is not frequency hopping is also limited to a power spectral density of 10 dBm per MHz.
- Non-adaptive equipment at 10 dBm e.i.r.p. or more is limited to a Medium Utilization factor of 10 % and to duty-cycle limits; these limits do not apply below 10 dBm.
- Names Bluetooth wireless technologies among its examples of the equipment it covers.
Limits
Gives the limits used to show conformity, not the power a given product uses. Version 2.2.2, adopted 1 July 2019, was the latest in ETSI's archive when read.
