Hi, i have a wireless product made for european market at 868MHz. I want to show this product in a korean exibition: i can use it or not? If not, what are the unlicensed bands that can be used? Thanks


Assuming to have your permission for people to reply directly, I'll post this to the IEEE EMC group....some 1100 members proficient in International Regulatory matters.

Why not contact the Korean Communications Commission for that information?

Best find what the cellular frequencies in Korea are.

If they are anything like the North-American ones (does a NA cellphone works in Korea?), then you are out of luck and will need to negotiate with the carrier that holds the license for that frequency/location. From dealing with a similar situation in NA, I can predict that you'll fail, unless you are willing to compensate them (after all, that chunk of frequency cost them a bundle, not to mention the on-going revenues and headache to clearing the spectrum for you).

If the frequencies are like in Europe, it probably falls under the license-free ISM regime.

This says 868 to 868.6 is used for Airport Communications Service
