specified low power radio station Explanation: This is the result of a goo search engine and I think mostly this is right as transation to decide on how it is called in English in Japan. 構内無線 and 特定省電力無線局 always seem to appear as a pair on most other Japanese related-Web sites.

designated low power base station Explanation: This is more difficult than I thought. This and your other term are legal. The "kounaimusennkyoku" requires a licence and the one above does not. designated low power base station is used here http://www.handytel.com/technology/dect06.htm |

(high-power) unit requiring a license Explanation: Timothy Takemoto hit the nail right on the head. In the context of a wireless LAN instruction manual, how important is it to literally translate these two cumbersome Japanese terms into even more cumbersome English? Maybe this once, but, as the Japanese suggests, the key point is whether a license is required. (Looking closer, one soon realizes that the real distinction is the transmitter's output power, in watts.) Otherwise, if these terms are repeated throughout the document, I say make up USABLE English terms, define them here, and use them instead. |
