Mauritius ICTA Allows WAS/RLAN Use in 6 GHz Band

Mauritius Regulatory authority The Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) of Mauritius has published the “Decision for Allocation of Additional Spectrum in the Frequency Range 5945-6425 MHz for Broadband Wireless Access Services in Mauritius”. This Decision now allows the 5945-6425 MHz frequency band to be available for WAS/RLAN use.

Main decisions are :

Frequency band 5945-6425 MHz has been allocated to the mobile services, Fixed services(FS) and the fixed – satellite services (FSS) on primary basis in ITU Region 1 and in the Mauritius frequency allocation table (MFAT)

The frequency band 5945-6425 MHz made available for WAS/RLAN use as follows:

a) INDOOR LOW POWER (ILP) devices restricted to indoor use only. Outdoor use of those Indoor Low Power devices(Incl. Road vehicles) is not permitted

b) Very Low Power (VLP) devices for both indoor and outdoor use, Except for fixed outdoor use. Use of Very Low Power devices on radio-controlled models is prohibited

WAS/RLAN Devices shall comply with the technical conditions and standardization requirements

Addition to News from 2020-01-21 ICTA released new Directives

Please be informed that we gained additional information regarding ICTA’s new Directive from October 2019.

As we informed in January 2020, ICTA (Information & Communication Technologies Authority) in Mauritius released a directive that short range devices for Transport and Traffic Telematics, such as Automobile sensors and Keyless entry systems, are exempted from Type Approval. 

The ICTA categorized ICT equipment in 7 categories: List AG. Short range devices are now Category C devices and therefore subject to a Declaration of compliance issued by local licensed dealers. At the first step local importers need to register at the ICTA as local licensed dealers. With our support, they are able to issue a DoC on the basis of the technical information. This DoC is crucial for getting an import clearance.

According to the authority the certificates acquired previously in Mauritius cannot be used for import to Mauritius anymore as the local licensed dealer needs to apply for import clearance for every shipment individually.
