I am not sure what your obsession is with FCC part 15 is. If you look
at almost any manual for a Wifi Access Point you'll find a reference to
the device being tested and in compliance with the FCC part 15
regulations. My DLink even goes so far as to explain "These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation......".
However, you probably should be less glib in your assertion that no town
approval are required.
I'm pretty comfortable in the "operation" end not needing town approval,
clearly whoever the owner of the tower is must permit installation, and
I read the location as being in open country, where you have your own
water tower so you don't have to pump the well to flush the john, so I
may have overlooked that requirement.
> I seem to recall the OP saying the intention is
to mount it on a water tower. Also, the device being mounted is going
to be supplying a service and the town may have regulations in this
area...sometimes call an ordinance. Many towns have tons of ordinances
that include things like how your sidewalk must be maintained, how your
tree branches can extend over another's property, how high your flag
pole is and if your kids can set up a lemon aide stand.
IANAL but I have a hard time believing that a town would try to block
otherwise lawful low power radio, or would be able to write a law which
didn't include WiFi and garage door openers. If the service is a
"business" which charges for a service it provides, business laws come
in (again you point out a possible problem), but if everyone buys their
own and just agrees on use... it would be like all getting CB radios and
agreeing to talk on a channel, or all connect to a chat room. A really
bad law could cover mailing lists as well, and there are more bad
lawyers than house flies in some places.
IMHO, checking the local ordinances is much more important that trying
to look up what FCC part 15 is all about
