Using Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 devices in Hong Kong is illegal if they operate on frequencies outside the authorized range or lack required certification.
Prohibited Frequency: Devices operating in the 6.425 – 7.125 GHz band are not permitted in Hong Kong, as this spectrum is reserved for other licensed services. Devices sold for markets like the US or Canada often utilize this band and are therefore non-compliant.
Authorized Frequency: Only devices operating in the 5.925 – 6.425 GHz band are legal under the Class Licence for 6 GHz Device.
Mandatory Certification: Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points (e.g., routers) offered for sale must be certified and affixed with the CA label. Using uncertified access points is a violation.
Penalties: Possession or use of unauthorized radiocommunications equipment can result in a maximum fine of HK$50,000 and two years’ imprisonment under the Telecommunications Ordinance.
While client devices (smartphones, laptops) are not subject to mandatory certification, they must still operate within legal frequency bands to avoid interference and legal liability. |
