Re: wireless-regdb: Update regulatory rules for Egypt (EG) on 5GHz

[Raif Atef]

Hello,
I am from Egypt. The current enforced wireless regdb restrictions for
my country are out of date and very severe (40 MHz max) and have been
relaxed by our NTRA (National Telecom Regulatory Authority) in 2018:
https://nuzeal.com/index.php/2018/01/07/macao-update-to-list-of-exempted-devices-2/

Kindly update the restrictions based on the official published
guidelines available on the NTRA website present at this URL:

https://www.tra.gov.eg/en/industry/importing-of-equipment/Pages/Regulations-for-use-of-Wireless-Networks-Devices.aspx

Thank you very much.

This is because 5250-5350 MHz requires TPC. Linux does not support TPC, so
we must reduce the max EIRP by half to 100 mW in this range.

I'll send a patch soon.

Thanks,
Seth

Thanks for the links, however they don't seem to contain the information
about power limits, etc. that we need to update the database. I found
this document:

https://www.tra.gov.eg/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EGY-NTRA-March-2022-SRD_English_Final.pdf

From this I think the correct rules are:

country EG: DFS-ETSI
        (2402 - 2483.5 @ 40), (20)
        (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (23), AUTO-BW, wmmrule=ETSI
        (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (20), DFS, AUTO-BW, wmmrule=ETSI
        (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (40)

If this looks correct to you, I'll send a patch.

Thanks,
Seth
