The Syrian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (SyTRA) has recently updated its regulations for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and Radio Local Area Networks (RLAN), allowing the use of the 6 GHz frequency band (5925–6425 MHz). This aligns Syria with global efforts to expand wireless capacity and enhance internet speed by utilizing the 6 GHz spectrum.
Under the new rules, WLAN devices operating in this frequency must be used indoors, with a maximum power limit of 23 dBm. This restriction ensures minimal interference with outdoor networks and services. The update aims to improve wireless connectivity, meeting the growing demand for high-speed internet and more reliable WLAN performance.
SyTRA has introduced new regulations for WiFi 6E technology, aimed at improving wireless connectivity. Key changes include:
Frequency Allocation:
WiFi 6E is now permitted to operate in multiple frequency ranges, including 2400–2483.5 MHz, 5150–5250 MHz, 5250–5350 MHz, 5470–5725 MHz, 5725–5850 MHz, 5925–6425 MHz, and 57–66 GHz. Indoor EIRP limits range from 100–200 mW depending on the band, while outdoor use is allowed only in the 5725–5850 MHz band with a 1W EIRP limit. The 57–66 GHz band allows up to 10W EIRP indoors. All devices must receive SyTRA type approval for compliance before use or importation.
This move is expected to accelerate the adoption of next-generation wireless technologies and improve the overall user experience for both consumers and businesses. It also positions Syria as part of the global movement towards leveraging the 6 GHz spectrum for enhanced digital connectivity.
