regulatory db: MAX EIRP for BE wrong?

Hello,

According to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/Database?alpha2=BE the max EIRP for BE (Belgium) on the 5490-5710 Mhz band is 27dBm (500mW)

I was under the impression that it is actually 30dBm (1W) on that band, according to BIPT (Belgian Institute for Post and Telecommunications) regulations.

I've been trying to find a link to an official BIPT document but can't find one right now.
However, scroll to "Table 3" in this cisco document http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/wireless/rcsi/radiocom.html to see that Cisco uses 30dBm (1000mW) in their products.

Would it be possible to update the reg db ?

If you need extra information, let me know.

Thanks!

Regards,

Hans

According to

I was under the impression that it is actually 30dBm (1W) on that band, according to BIPT (Belgian Institute for Post and Telecommunications) regulations.

It is very like that this band requires TPC, which we haven't implemented yet (but Cisco would), and w/o TPC the regulations halve the TX power limit.
