Regulations regarding the use of the wireless modem vary greatly from country to
country. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user license.
However, in some countries, the administrative permissions are required. For license

the unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility of the end-user to obtain an
operator's permit or license for the receiver for the location or country of use.
