UK 5GHz WLAN Spectrum Allocation (August 2017)



In August 2017, Ofcom in the UK made some additional channels available in the 5GHz band for license exempt usage.

The details can be found in the following Ofcom document: VNS – Voluntary National Specification 2030/8/3

This means that we have an additional 6 x 20Mhz channels available for use here in the UK for our Wi-Fi networks. This also translates in to a possible additional 3 x 40MHz channels and 2 x  80 MHz channels.

I have put together a cheat sheet showing the 5GHz channels now available in the UK, together with a few useful references.

You can download the sheet from here: link
