National Restrictions within the European Union
Within the European Union as well as within the majority of the other European Countries, the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are available
for use by wireless LANs.
The following table provides an overview of the regulatory requirements that are generally applicable for 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
The requirements for any country might evolve. We recommend that you check with your local authorities for the current status of
regulations for 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless LANs within your country.
