The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has published the Information Memorandum for the Specialized Radio Network License in the 450 MHz frequency band, to continue the implementation plan of the Spectrum Outlook for Commercial and Innovative Use 2021-2023.
CST said that providing the needed frequencies will help establish a national specialised communication network to meet the demands for wireless communication systems of various national sectors, such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, transportation and logistics.
Collaborating with local and international entities, CST held a number of workshops to study the current and future needs for wireless communication and meet demands via a specialised communication network. Addressing these needs will accelerate the adoption of smart applications by entities, and the automation of their operations, in addition to helping utilise the Internet of Things (IoT) applications for communication, sensing, monitoring and control.
CST further said that it held a public consultation on awarding the 450 MHz band in 2022, and it has now published the “Information Memorandum for the Specialized Communications Network Frequency License in the 450 MHz band”, noting that the deadline for application by eligible applicants will be Sunday, July 9, 2023.
