The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has proposed processing complete applications for radio-based service licences within 15 working days under its Draft Radio-Based Services (RBS) Regulations, 2026.
The proposed deadline aims to establish a clear timeframe for licence processing and provide greater certainty to organizations seeking authorization to operate radio communication services.
However, the timeline would apply only to complete applications that meet the prescribed documentation and regulatory requirements.
The draft regulations cover several categories of radio-based services, including Land Mobile Private Networks (LMPN) using very high frequency (VHF), microwave links, Mobile Satellite Applications (MSA), Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) and amateur radio.
These services support communication needs across different sectors and fall under the PTA’s regulatory oversight.
The authority has also invited licensees and other relevant organizations to submit feedback on the proposed regulations.
Stakeholders have been asked to use a prescribed proforma to identify specific provisions, recommend changes and explain the reasons for their suggestions.
The consultation will allow stakeholders to comment on the proposed licensing framework before it is finalized.
