Honduras published Resolution NR003/26 in La Gaceta No. 36,916 on September 2, 2026, approving a new regulation for Wireless Access Systems/Radio Local Area Networks and short-range radiocommunication devices. The regulation covers the full 5925-7125 MHz band and defines device classes and operating conditions, including low-power indoor equipment.
Article 92 sets entry into force three months after publication, corresponding to December 2, 2026. The change is relevant to regional firmware, channel availability, power settings, technical evidence and homologation files for 6 GHz Wi‑Fi equipment.
Manufacturers should confirm the parameters applicable to each device class and should not assume that the band opening automatically validates every existing approval or configuration.
Impact
Impact assessment: High.
Key reasons: The regulation opens the full 6 GHz band and establishes operating conditions that may require country-specific firmware, RF evidence and updated homologation dossiers.
Who is affected?
Manufacturers and importers of 6 GHz WLAN devices, radio-module suppliers, testing laboratories, homologation holders, distributors and regulatory teams.
Conclusion:
Review channel availability, power settings, device class, firmware, test reports and homologation files before the December 2, 2026 effective date.
