In the US there is a similar amateur band at 2.39 GHz. (It was 2.3-2.4, but commercial interests 'bought' the 2.31 to 2.39 chunk...). I don't believe there a 10 MHz BW limit, but the QSL.NET site gives 20, 10, and 5 MHz band frequency centers... which the Atheros chips can do. I've thought about getting my Ham license to allow me to configure for the amateur bands at trade shows, and side step the 'white noise' that the ordinary WIFI spectrum seems to have at such venues.
