I am not sure about this. But if equipment that comply with FCC
standard allow to use 40MHz, I think we can because, for example
Translated rule for 2.4GHz says

===

Rules for communication equipment that use 2.400-2.500 GHz band:

Communication equipment that use 2.400-2.500 GHz band must stated and
comply with
one of following standards:

2.1.2.1  EN 300 328-2  :  Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters
(ERM); Wideband Transmission systems; Data transmission
equipment operating in the 2,4 GHz ISM band and using
spread spectrum modulation techniques; Part 2: Harmonized
EN covering essential requirements under article 3.2 of R&TTE
Directive
2.1.2.2  FCC Part 15.247 :  Code of Federal Regulations (USA); Title 47
Telecommunication; Chapter 1 Federal Communications
Commission; Part 15 Radio Frequency Devices; Subpart C –
Intentional Radiators; §15.247 Operation within the bands 902–
928 MHz, 2400–2483.5 MHz, and 5725–5850 MHz

Opps, my typo

country TH:
       (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
       (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 23), NO-OUTDOOR

Yes. I managed to get translated documents, but for now I didn't get
any reply from NTC.
