How to find out what wifi channels are authorized for each country?

[sushant1612]

Does cisco or any other keep a log of what channels are authorized in each country? Also, how to keep update with if any country changes the authorized wifi channels?

Of course Cisco do.  The channels used are based on either the equipment purchased for the specific regulatory domain or on some of the newer WiFi gear you tell it which country it is operating in.

Sometimes changes in regulatory domains requires a software update.  Sometimes it may require a change in hardware.

Thanks Philip. I understand the equipment purchased for a specific regulatory domain will come with the authorized channels but I was asking more in terms of knowing the channels without purchasing anything. Is there a spreadsheet or any website that cisco updates with the country specific channels?

I am not aware of anything publicly available.
