  • 1.  Inquiry regarding country-specific regulations for WiFi 6GHz Clients

    Posted 7 days ago

    As shown in the attached image, in the case of WiFi 6GHz, the frequencies and channels that can be used are different depending on regulations in Europe and the US.
     
    In a general environment, such as an airport where people from various countries visit, is it okay to open all of these frequency bands and use them?
     
    For example, I wonder if a European client can arrive at an American airport and connect to all of the WiFi6 channels based on the US standard.

    The Enduser Device (EU as an example) gets the Country Code by the SIM to which the mobile connection will be established or via Information send out in the Beacon. There are different ways and different operating modes, depending to the vendor and OS implementation (mobile phone in airplane mode and Wi-Fi enabled, Mobile and Wi-Fi enabled).

    Correction by myself after getting into discussion with others and Internet research.

    Client devices learn the country code from the wireless network and generally aren't going to be region locked as they are expected to be mobile, unlike the infrastructure.

    For example, I wonder if a European client can arrive at an American airport and connect to all of the WiFi6 channels based on the US standard.

    Yes.  That is fine.
