Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) has issued light licensing regulations for the 6 GHz frequency band. CST seeks to gather stakeholder feedback on the Light Licensing Regulations for the 6 GHz Frequency Band. The regulation includes the mechanism that the CST will rely on to enable high-power applications while ensuring coexistence with the incumbent uses in the band, such as fixed point to point and fixed-satellite services, in line with the outcomes of the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23).
In accordance with the Telecommunications and Information Technology Act and its Bylaw, the Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) Ordinance, and to promote the optimal use of the frequency spectrum, foster emerging wireless technologies, establish a competitive and equitable environment, and enhance transparency and clarity in spectrum management within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
The primary objective of the light licensing regime is to enable smart management of the frequency spectrum, leveraging databases to efficiently allocate spectrum resources.
