Google Nest Wifi Pro in Australia?

[bungee]

Ive seen a few posts on this with no updates and posts closed.

So starting a new one to ask the same question, when will the Nest Pro be available in Australia?

AFAIK, theres nothing else to do than watching following resources.

Google Nest devices availability:

• https://support.google.com/store/answer/2462844?hl=en

Nest blog/announcements:

Just some background here from a little digging – as far as I can tell, the US Nest WiFi Pro units appear to use channel 175, which is 160MHz wide, in the upper part of the 6GHz band, and allows higher transmit power without the need for frequency coordination. If I'm reading the FCC filing right, anyway.  That channel is not supported in Australia at this time as far as I can tell. Australia does support channels in the lower part of the 6GHz band, but they also have lower transmit power limits. Since Nest WiFi Pro uses the 6GHz radios for mesh interconnect, transmit power and range are key to getting the most out of it. That's not to say they'll never ship it in Australia – the Google WiFi and Nest WiFi products use different channels in the US than they do in other parts of the world. But, it may be more challenging.

Thanks,  that makes sense and helps me understand why I haven't seen it in Australia.
