Also devices operating in the 5925 to 7125 MHz frequency band can be used indoors if they comply with a maximum EIRP of 30 dBm and a maximum spectral density of 5 dBm / MHz.

Low Power access points may only have fixed internal antennas, connectors to external antennas are not permitted. They must not be battery operated, nor should there be an option to do so.
End user terminal devices connected to such access points should operate with a maximum EIRP of  24 dBm  and  a maximum spectral density of  -1 dBm / MHz
