Professional Installation Per the recommendation of the FCC, the installation of high gain directional antenna to the system, which are intended to operated solely as a point-topoint system and whose total power exceeds +30dBm EIRP, require professional installation. It is the responsibility of the installer and the end user that the high power systems are operated strictly as a point-to-point system.
