The New RSS Standard

The Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has released RSS-248, which covers Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) Devices in the 5925-7125 MHz Band.

One of the main things that RSS-248 covers is the certification requirements for licence-exempt low-power RLAN devices operating indoors in the frequency band 5925-7125 MHz.

The Radio Standard Specification (RSS) sets out the certification requirements for license exempt low-power Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) devices operating indoors in the frequency band 5925-7125 MHz (the 6 GHz band). RLAN devices with occupied bandwidths that fall into other frequency bands (e.g. 2.4 GHz) shall comply with requirements for each respective band specified in the applicable RSS standard(s).

The RLAN devices covered by this standard are classified as Category I equipment. Either a technical acceptance certificate (TAC) issued by the Certification and Engineering Bureau (CEB) of ISED or a certificate issued by a recognized certification body (CB) is required.
