Can someone explain what "21 dBm" and "Up to 40 EIRP (dBi)" means in the
transmit power section of the above PDF file?

21 dBm is 21 dB above 1 mw of power ~105x. 40 dBi EIRP is 40 dB
(10,000x) up on the isotropic (radiated in a sphere) radiated power and
usually refers to a directional antenna gain but such a large number
must include the transmitter power probably relative to 1 mW.
