Difficult within the EU due to ISM limits.

Maybe ok for your garden camera where the authorities just don't care. But no go for any industrial usage.

The ETSI document actually does allow higher duty cycle if the radios take anti-interference measures. Some countries unfortunately have "harmonized" but skipped that part. Theoretically only a dumb transceiver (that can utilize only a single channel) has to limit duty cycle that low in those bands.

We have devices sending telemetry and occasional OTA updates without urgency (if it takes a few hours to get it over it’s not a problem).

If you need consistent MB range traffic for cameras I wouldn’t advise it but for low (5kbs) traffic it can be attractive. A few thousand bits can encode quite a bit of information. Don’t be fooled by the “kbs”.

  • You can do quite a lot with a few MB. Don't tell every React behemoth on the web that we know this trick.

Phew, I looked it up, just by curiosity. What a nightmare :') the rules, regulations, laws are damn strict Oo

  • Usually this rules are for experts who have to implement the limits. They should not be exposed to end-users.
