According to TA SR, "The European Commission yesterday decided to open up additional radio frequencies for the wireless network known as WiFi. EU member states are to make available the frequency bands 5150-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 megahertz for WiFi by the end of October." According to international conditions, the Slovak Republic fulfilled this obligation ahead of time. On both frequency bands, it is possible to operate radio devices intended for building networks in accordance with international requirements on the basis of general permits issued by the Slovak Telecommunications Office. There are no fees or notification requirements for the use of frequencies.
The Slovak Republic introduced the conditions for the 5150-5350 MHz band already on October 30, 2001 - http://www.teleoff.gov.sk/Vpovolenia/hiperlan.html and after the change in international conditions announced a new general permit on March 17, 2004 - http://www.teleoff.gov.sk/Vpovolenia/ hiperlan-nove.html For the operation of equipment in the 5470-5725 MHz band TÚ SR announced a general permit on November 5, 2004 – http:// www.teleoff.gov.sk/Vpovolenia/hiperlan2.html
