Qatar's National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP) has been finalised by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA). The plan, which takes into account projects planned in sectors that are critical to Qatar’s economy, has been endorsed by the HE Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti, Qatar Minister of Transport and Communications, and published on the CRA website.
“The finalisation of NFAP is an important achievement for Qatar’s requirements of spectrum usage in the telecommunication, government, aviation, security, energy, information & communications technology (ICT) and other nationally critically sectors as the management of this scarce recourse impacts the country’s GDP,” said Mohammed Ali Al-Mannai, President of CRA, adding, “Moreover, NFAP includes all current and future needs related to major national and international sport championships, and cultural events.
“We have engaged with relevant public and private sector entities to take into consideration their future plans to finalise this document and benchmarked it with international radio regulations,” he added.
The plan, reviewed by the Qatar National Spectrum Coordination Committee (QNSCC), includes the updated National Frequency Allocation Table (NFAT) and provides a transparent, non-discriminatory and predictable approach to spectrum management, including the reservation of appropriate spectrum for future technologies.
It also integrates planning of new mobile broadband technologies, public protection and disaster relief measures, unmanned aircraft systems, global flight tracking, maritime safety, amateur radio, and other areas of focus at the International Telecommunication Union’s World Radiocommunication Conference. It will be subject to periodic revisions to conform with new requirements as imposed by new national and international regulations involving the allocation of frequency bands.
The document is an essential guide for individuals, government agencies, and commercial entities on how radiocommunication services, technologies, and applications are distributed over radio frequency bands in Qatar. It contains information required for applicants for any request for frequency usage (assignment, licensing, authorisation, etc.), before they approach CRA with such requests. Such requests include temporary spectrum assignments regulations for organising events and their media coverage via satellite, radio and Internet broadcast.
The plan also includes list of specific assignments, list of frequency bands for short range device (SRD) applications, frequency allotment plans relevant to Qatar, international agreements, harmonised frequency bands or spots, among other topics.

Whereas most People - and other people of different nations as effectively - may assume that these in Dubai are very completely different than these within the US and a few European nations, in actuality they're fairly related.
