The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has issued the “Fixed Wireless Links Regulations” through which CITC offers Ultra Wide-band channels, adopts new licensing mechanism for fixed wireless links, and determines the guidelines to enable Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) applications in the Kingdom.
These Regulations identify the fixed wireless links frequency bands , their channel allocation plans, the licensing mechanism in the Kingdom, in addition to the technical and regulatory conditions for using fixed wireless links for bands identified for these services.
Following a previous public consultation and the assessment of the users' needs of fixed wireless links, CITC has developed this document which aims to optimize current spectrum use for fixed wireless links which will contribute to increase the spectral usage efficiency, support 5G wireless backhaul and improve 5G rollout and enhance the quality level of internet service in the Kingdom.
