Because of the interference avoidance characteristics of spread spectrum technology, these devices are permitted greater output power than non-spread Part 15 transmitters that operate in the same band. Section 15.247 limits the output power of frequency hopping spread spectrum systems in the 2.4 GHz band to 1 Watt. The systems must use a minimum of 75 non-overlapping hopping channels having a 20 dB bandwidth no greater than 1 MHz.
