France
Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band for operation in the IEEE 802.11b mode at 2.4 GHz. The
following information describes this restriction (please check ART's Web site (http://www.art-telecom.fr) for more up-to-
date information).
Autorité de régulation des télecommunications (ART) has made decisions that will allow users to install WLAN ( wireless
LAN) systems to provide high-speed Internet services primarily in high-traffic areas (called hot spots). ART recently
released guidelines that establish the conditions for experimenting with the installation of public WLANs, such as for high-
speed Internet access in locations that are currently being poorly served by existing networks. Such public WLANs would
operate in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This series of measures answers many of the concerns expressed during ART's
public consultation on this topic.
Decisions allowing the installation of wireless terminals in hot spots (train stations, airports, business centers, and the
like): In agreement with the Ministry of Defence, ART has made two decisions setting the conditions for using wireless
LANs in the 2.4 GHz band. One of these decisions has been submitted to the Minister of Telecommunications for
approval. These decisions will allow the installation of WLAN access points to provide public services in high-traffic public
places. This will allow service providers and licensed operators to install access points using 2.4 GHz band technologies
without authorisation, under the following technical conditions:
1. In 38 départements (see
The 2400–2454 MHz band can be used both indoors and outdoors using systems (access points and devices)
with less than 300 milliwatts (mW) of power.
The 2454–2483.5 MHz band can be used indoors using devices with less than 100 mW of power and can be
used outdoors using devices with less than 10 mW of power. When the devices are being used outdoors on
private property, the power may be increased to 100 mW after approval from the Ministry of Defence.
2. For the time being, in all other metropolitan départements, the conditions remain unchanged. The list of the first
38 départements will be progressively added to after 1 January 2003.
3. For the overseas départements (DOM), as well as Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Mayotte, the entire
2400–2483.5 MHz band may be used indoors and outdoors using devices with less than 100 mW of power,
except for the Reunion Islands and Guyana, where the 2420–2483.5 MHz band may be used only outdoors
using devices with less than 100 mW of power. ART reminds operators that these frequencies are used with no
guarantee of nondisruption, and that the installations must respect all measures applying to radio installations
(such as urban planning regulations). These decisions also allow the development of private uses. In particular,
private networks (such as indoor corporate networks) can be established using these technologies.
These conditions are tablulated below in
Guidelines for public WLAN experimentation
Networks using WLAN technology will be granted a free authorisation for up to 18 months under article L.33-1 of
the Post and Telecommunications Code. These networks may use systems with 100 mW of power (effective
isotropic radiated power (EIRP)) on the entire band, indoors and outdoors. Moreover, in the 2.4 GHz band (and
