802.11d is a wireless network communications specification for use in countries where systems using other standards in the 802.11
family are not allowed to operate.
The 802.11d specification is similar in most respects to
802.11b. The main difference is that the
configuration can be fine-tuned at the Media Access Control layer
(MAC layer) level to comply with the rules of the country or district
in which the network is to be used. Rules subject to variation
include allowed frequencies, allowed power levels, and allowed
signal bandwidth. The specification eliminates the need for designing and manufacturing dozens of different hardware
solutions, each for use in a particular jurisdiction. The
802.11d specification is thus well suited for systems that want to provide global roaming.
The 802.xx Fast Reference lists related
specifications and provides a link to each of them.
