CRA publishes its Spectrum Plan for FIFA Arab Cup 2021

The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has published on its website the Spectrum Plan for FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021 (FAC 2021), which will be held in Qatar from November 30 to December 18, 2021.

The CRA is the responsible authority for regulating and managing all the affairs related to the use of the radio spectrum in Qatar, as well as establishing an effective approval regime for telecommunications equipment.

The CRA developed the plan with the aim of informing stakeholders about its vision regarding the use of radio spectrum during FAC 2021 and all its related procedures to ensure the optimal use of radio spectrum during the period of the event.

The plan explains to the stakeholders the followed procedures for authorising the use of radio spectrum and demonstrates the different radio applications and equipment that may be used during the FAC 2021.

It also explains the mechanisms of managing and monitoring the radio spectrum that are followed by CRA to detect any radio frequency interference or unauthorised use of radio frequencies during FAC 2021 in all locations where accompanying events will be held.

The CRA encourages all the stakeholders to contact it before the commencement of FAC 2021 and submit all the required documents to ensure receiving CRA’s approvals on time and avoid any delays.
