Hi All,

The regulatory data for my country (Ecuador) is wrong because it is
limiting the 5GHz WLAN operation to only 20MHz, there are no bandwidth
limitations according to the ARCOTEL (Agencia de Regulación y Control
de las Telecomunicaciones) which is the ecuadorian government entity
in charge of regulating the radiofrequency spectrum and
telecommunication services.

The 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 60GHz spectrum fall under the Uso Determinado en
Bandas Libres (Determined Use in Free Bands) disposition which can be
found here:

(there is a table starting from page 19 which explains the maximum
transmission power in mW for each frequency range)

Additional information about the radiofrequency spectrum in Ecuador is
available from the ARCOTEL website:
