The short answer is that they will work anywhere.
There are differences from country to country in the number of channels used and the maximum output power permitted. North America allows channels 1-11 while most of the EU uses 1-13 but the channel frequencies are the same so a North American device will work in the EU except on channels 12 & 13.
Most of the EU allows and EIRP (Effective Isotopic Radiated Power) of 100mw while in the US the FCC permits an EIRP of up to 4 watts.
An EUB362 sold in North America will have channels 1-11 and put out 200mw while one sold in the EU will have channels 1-13 but be limited to an output power of 100mw.
Many Client Bridge devices allow software control of channels and power output and there may be USB based devices that can do this also but I'm not aware of them.
