The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) has indicated that it will amend Annexure B of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations of 2015. The Annexure relates to a list of radio apparatus that do not require a radio frequency spectrum licence.
The decision to make amendments to the Annexure is prompted mainly by the need to, among others, encourage investment and innovation in the ICT sector, promote adoption of latest technological gadgets operating in the licence-free radio as well as frequency spectrum bands on a non-interference and zero protection basis from interference.
Interested stakeholders are invited to submit written representations regarding the proposed amendments by close of business on 6 September 2019. The notice may be found on www.icasa.org.za. Enquiries related to this process may be directed to Bethuel Nkgadime (az.gro.asaci@emidagkNB).
