Final answer:

The exact FCC power output maximum for an FHSS system with 5 MHz of bandwidth cannot be provided without consulting current FCC regulations. Wireless technologies have specified power outputs to facilitate efficient communication within their respective frequencies, which are regulated to avoid interference.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has specific rules pertaining to the power output of various wireless technologies that operate in the radio-wave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. When it comes to frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) systems, these rules dictate the maximum output power that can be transmitted from the intentional radiator. Unfortunately, without the exact FCC regulation number or document, I cannot provide the precise maximum output power for an FHHS with 5 MHz of carrier frequency bandwidth. Typically, the allowed power output for spread spectrum devices can be in the range of tens to hundreds of milliwatts. However, to get the accurate value, one should refer to the current FCC regulations or contact the FCC directly.

Wireless technologies such as 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS, and even broadcast systems like FM radio all operate at specific frequencies and have maximum power output levels determined by regulatory bodies like the FCC. These frequencies, such as 4G at approximately 880 MHz, Wi-Fi at 2.4 to 5 GHz, and FM radio at 88 to 108 MHz, ensure efficient transmission as they are less absorbed by common building materials, making them ideal for various applications of communication technology.
