Seems like. But units are hard...
The link in the db went stale, but the current versions
https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Frequenzen/Allgemeinzuteilungen/MobilfunkDectWlanCBFunk/WLAN_5GHz_pdf.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1
states (page 5):
--------------------
Frequenzband 5470–5725 MHz
...
Maximale mittlere EIRP für
bandinterne Aussendungen
1 W
Ausnahmen:
für Anlagen in Straßenfahrzeugen gilt eine maximale
mittlere EIRP von 200 mW.
...
Maximale mittlere EIRP-Dichte für
bandinterne Aussendungen
50 mW/MHz in jedem 1 MHz-Band
...
Sendeleistungsregelung (TPC)
TPC muss durchschnittlich einen Abschwächungsfaktor von
mindestens 3 dB gegenüber der höchstzulässigen
Sendeleistung der Systeme erbringen; oder ohne TPC muss die
höchstzulässige mittlere EIRP und die Obergrenze für die
entsprechende mittlere EIRP-Dichte um 3 dB verringert
werden.
--------------------
So to be _really_ precise you'd end up with 1W reduced by 3dB which of
course _is_ precisely 27dBm since 1W is 10^30 or precisely 30 dBm.
(Except in "street vehicles", apparently. Rail has its own things, so I
guess that really does mean cars/trams/etc.)
But given the unit conversions are hard, we should probably just do this
in the db in dBm?
