South Africa

摘要

On 14 December 2022, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa published a notice1 of its intention to amend Annexure B of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations. The Authority is proposing the incorporation of the lower 6 GHz (5925 - 6425 MHz) and the 122 - 246 GHz radio frequency bands for Non-Specific Short-range Applications, in Annexure B of the Radio Frequency Spectrum Amendment Regulations, 2021. This will provide a much-needed boost for Wi-Fi availability and uptake, and it is expected to enable faster data communications between devices connected to wireless infrastructure, reduce latency, improve efficiency and data throughput.
