Support for wireless radio device in multiple wireless regulatory domains

A method of automatically configuring operating parameters of a wireless radio device, comprising:

• receiving a configuration information request from a wireless radio device, the configuration information request comprising information associated with a geographic location of the wireless radio device;
• determining, with a server, configuration information in accordance with the geographic location of the wireless radio device, the configuration information comprising an identification of the regulatory domain associated with the geographic location of the wireless radio device;
• and
• sending the configuration information comprising the identification of the regulatory domain from the server to the wireless radio device for configuring the operating parameters of the wireless radio device.

A wireless radio device configured to automatically configure operating parameters, the wireless radio device comprising:

• a geo-location function stored on a memory of the wireless radio device and executable by a processor of the wireless radio device to determine, with the wireless radio device, a geographic location of the wireless radio device;
• and
• a regulatory domain configuration function stored on the memory and executable by the processor to:
• determine the regulatory domain in which the wireless radio device is located based on the geographic location of the wireless radio device by:
• requesting regulatory domain information from a server, the request comprising the geographic location of the wireless radio device;
• and
• receiving an identification of the regulatory domain from the server in response to the request;
• and
• configure, with the wireless radio device, the operating parameters of the wireless radio device in accordance with configuration parameters associated with the determined regulatory domain.
