Country-Specific Allowed Preferred Scanning Channels (PSC)

The channels configuration on the device (also known as channel mask) should match the channel deployment at the customer site.

For the 6GHz band, it is recommended that you only deploy PSC channels. The number of available PSC channels depends on the country of operation.

In any case, if PSC-only or also non-PSC channels are deployed, the device uses a standard mechanism of Reduced Neighbor Report (RNR) to discover the 6GHz channels.

Please refer to List of Channels for the complete list of PSC channels available in each sub-band.

Please refer to the following website for the list of countries that have enabled the 6GHz band and the specifically approved sub-bands: wi-fi.org/countries-enabling-wi-fi-6e

If the configuration of the device channels needs to be verified in the Android UI, use Android Settings to navigate to Network > Wi-Fi > Preferences > Advanced > Additional Settings > Band and Channel Selection > Available Channels (6 GHz). The PSC-listed channels are marked with an asterisk next to the channel number for ease of identification, while the non-PSC are not marked with an asterisk. For example, channel 5 is a PSC channel, so it is shown as *Ch.5 (5975 MHz) to indicate that it is a PSC channel.
