Peter, RSS 210 is the Industry Canada radio standard for Low Power License-Exempt Radiocommunications Devices(All Frequency Bands).
RSS 139 is the Industry Canada radio standard for Licensed Radiocommunication devices in the Band of 2400-2483.5 MHz. These standards can be downloaded for free at the following link: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/sf01375e.html#RadioEquipmentTechnicalStandards (Lists) Sounds like you may being asked which standard you wish to apply for your 2.4 gear. You can apply -210 only if you intend to use any or all of the 2400-2483.5MHz band indoors, or if you wish to only use 2450-2483.5 MHz band outdoors. You HAVE TO apply -139 if you wish to use the entire 2400-2483.5 band outdoors and in addition, the user must apply for a site license to operate the equipment. There is no guarantee that a site license will granted either. The reason for this is that Canada uses the 2400-2450 band for fixed radio relay service and other services that they do not want interfered with. I have been told by IC that I can apply -139 to all my 2.4 gear and only require site licenses for outdoor use. In other words, even though my radio is approved to -139, I need only get site licenses for the outdoor installations, and the indoor installations can operate license exempt(Of course you will want to get your own confirmation of this in writing from IC). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sam Wismer Lead Regulatory Engineer/ Radio Approvals Engineer LXE, Inc.

It looks like Canadian requirements for receiving and transmitting equipment. If so, what are the equivalent FCC or other standards? Thank you. PETER S. MERGUERIAN Technical Director I.T.L.
