Read the first 7 Regulatory Compliance & Legal Framework flashcards as text

  1. Which FCC rule establishes the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits for RF radiation to which wireless equipment operators must comply?

    Answer: OET Bulletin 65 and FCC §1.1310

    FCC §1.1310 establishes RF exposure limits (MPE), and OET Bulletin 65 provides the evaluation procedures for demonstrating compliance with those limits.

  2. Under GDPR requirements applicable to European wireless network deployments, what obligation exists when collecting MAC address data from client devices for analytics?

    Answer: MAC addresses are considered personal data under GDPR, requiring a lawful basis for collection and user notification

    Under GDPR, MAC addresses can identify individuals and are therefore classified as personal data, requiring lawful basis, transparency, and compliance with data subject rights.

  3. The Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the US operates in which frequency band and uses which access management system?

    Answer: 3.5 GHz band managed by a Spectrum Access System (SAS)

    CBRS operates in the 3.5 GHz band (3550-3700 MHz) and uses a cloud-based Spectrum Access System (SAS) to coordinate access among Priority Access License holders and General Authorized Access users.

  4. A company deploying outdoor wireless bridges across a public road in the US may need to obtain which type of permit in addition to ensuring FCC compliance?

    Answer: Local municipal or right-of-way permits for structures over public property

    Physical antenna structures over public right-of-way typically require local municipal permits separate from FCC radio authorization, covering zoning, structural, and right-of-way considerations.

  5. What is the regulatory significance of the FCC's Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) for organizations using Wi-Fi calling or VoIP over wireless networks?

    Answer: TCPA restricts automated calls and texts regardless of the underlying network technology, including Wi-Fi calling

    TCPA restrictions on autodialed calls and texts apply based on the nature of the communication and consent, not the network technology used, so Wi-Fi calling applications must still comply.

  6. In the US, which federal environmental review process may be triggered by antenna installations over 10 meters in height or in environmentally sensitive areas, per FCC rules?

    Answer: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review coordinated through the FCC's environmental review process

    The FCC requires NEPA environmental review for antenna installations that exceed thresholds for height, historic areas, or protected habitats, often also involving Section 106 historic preservation review.

  7. Which statement correctly describes the difference between a licensed microwave link and an unlicensed point-to-point link operating under FCC Part 15?

    Answer: Licensed links have interference protection rights and higher power limits; unlicensed links must accept interference and operate at lower power

    Licensed microwave links receive interference protection and can operate at higher powers, while Part 15 unlicensed links must accept any interference they receive and operate within stricter power limits.
