Comsol on legal compliance of wireless services
ICASA has recently cracked down on illegal spectrum usage, with many companies being left without connectivity. The legal compliance of wireless services, networks and infrastructure has come under scrutiny, bringing to mind the question: Is my service at risk due to non-compliance?
Convergence Partners investee and wireless specialist company Comsol has invested in legally acquiring national spectrum through ICASA, allowing it to deliver carrier grade licensed wireless solutions to the market. Comsol understands the legalities and processes involved in offering a service that is fully compliant, while still being agile enough to meet the market’s demands.
Not all role-players are aware of the legal requirements and processes that need to be undertaken before a wireless service can be deployed. ICASA has a published set of parameters outlining the “do’s and don’ts”, including which frequencies fall within the licensed exempt bands, how to apply for licensed spectrum, and who has bulk national spectrum.
In today’s ever-changing wireless landscape, the unlicensed band has become increasingly cluttered. The scarcity of available Freeband frequencies makes offering a reliable service within these frequencies virtually impossible.
Comsol boasts nearly two decades of servicing Africa; building and maintaining wireless networks across all vertical markets. Comsol offers its clients reliable, high capacity wireless access circuits and its national bulk licence enables it to offer aggressive service level agreements, backed up by a national operational presence with offices throughout the country.
