You can get the full details at this website : http://www.anfr.fr/gb/ This is the site for the French Frequency Agency. You'll have to click on the NEWS button to see the new rules regarding 2.4 Ghz. In a nutshell, there are still power limitations for the full band, and will be until 2004. Power limitations also exist for outdoor use, even after 2004. Bluetooth falls under the category non-specific SRD, I believe. I think the reason for the truncated 2.4 Ghz band in France is that it conflicts with military useage. Agreement has been made to move the military applications to another band, thereby opening the 2.4 band up entirely, but this, as one might imagine, will take some time. Along the same lines, I have heard that Singapore has also opened the full 2.4 GHz band to SRD's, but I have been unable to confirm this. Does anyone have information on Singapore?

My understanding was that France still allows only a truncated band (2.4465 Ghz-2.4835 Ghz) usage. Will those more learned then me in this area answer if this is still true, will it change any time soon and does this have any power stipulation on it. In other words is it also not harmonized for Bluetooth usage which would be a relatively low power transmitted of either 1 milliwatt or 10 milliwatts. Again Thank You in advance for your responses and have a great day. Sandy Mazzola Santo Mazzola Regulatory Engineer Symbol Technologies Inc 1 Symbol Plaza Holtsville, N.
