The Nigerian Communications Commission has therefore, in recent times, been inundated with requests from the industry for trial Frequencies in certain Spectrum Bands for the purpose of verification of certain concepts and theories.
Consistent with International best practices and in the spirit of the Commission's Strategic Vision Plan of facilitating the provision of infrastructure for a digital economy which fosters national development with the objective of optimizing usage of Spectrum, the Commission hereby states as follows in respect of application for a ProofofConcept (PoC) triallicense:
- That Proof of Concept (PoC) trial license shall only be granted to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)/Vendors, or Operators in conjunction with their Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)
- That Proof of Concept (PoC) trial shall not exceed a period of three (3) months effective from the date of approval and on a non-commercial basis.
- Equipment for Proof of Concept (PoC) must be "Type-approved' by the Commission.
- Appropriate Spectrum fees must be paid in accordance with the Commission's Regulations.
The general public, and the Communications industry in particular, should therefore note the above and be guided accordingly.
