I'm using the airport command to scan nearby wifi networks ( /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport -s ), and I've decoded the other datapoints. What does cc mean in this context?

Example output: 

          SSID BSSID             RSSI CHANNEL HT CC SECURITY (auth/unicast/group)
 Stevens-Guest 18:64:72:37:fa:21 -76  11      Y  -- NONE
 Stevens-Media 18:64:72:37:73:42 -67  11      Y  -- WPA2(PSK/AES/AES)

cc // Country code reported - can be null

  • Of course! Makes sense, though I'm wondering what contexts it's used?

    Good Q, seems to have some impact on which networks a machine will connect to, but not sure of much beyond that. Some related info - howtogeek.com/211993/…

  • Right, probably transmission power regulations, etc. Thanks!
