The last 2 of April, the Ministry of Communications (MoC) in Israel issued an updated of the technical specification document on the general use of the frequencies in 2.4 and 5 GHz.
Main change is that the previous mandatory requirement of WiFi alliance certificate for 802.11n equipments has been removed from the updated regulation.
So now, 802.11n equipments are easier to be type approved by MoC, just submitting ETSI or FCC test reports.
