5Ghz - Geo-restricted channels?

[LetMePass]

Hello,

I have been wondering whether some 5Ghz channels may be restricted in some countries?

Is there any public document about that?

Best Regards,

Chris

Hello @LetMePass,

Yes, the availability of 5GHz channels can vary by country, and regulatory authorities in different regions may impose restrictions on certain channels. The regulatory domain for Wi-Fi channels is determined by government agencies in each country to manage spectrum usage and avoid interference.

To check the allowed 5GHz channels and regulatory information for a specific country, you can refer to the regulatory authority's documentation or website. As example:

FCC (Federal Communications Commission) - United States.

ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) - Europe.

@LetMePass,

Here are a few examples of regulatory bodies in the APAC region:

IDA (Infocomm Development Authority) - Singapore.

NCC (National Communications Commission) - Taiwan.

TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) - India.

NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission) - Thailand.

ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) - Australia.
While Australia is geographically part of the Asia-Pacific, it is often categorized separately.
