ICASA Lisense and Wireless Point to Point Links

[BHCTEC02]

Hi There, wonder of someone could shed some light on ICASA and licensing...

We use a Ubiquity NanoBeamM5 400 wireless link between 2x of our office blocks. These units use and fall in the open spectrum frequency range hence no ICASA license required. Our DataCentre provider/ISP is in the same business park. We want to put the same link between the DataCentre provider/ISP and the 1x office block for fail-over. Since the wireless link will now be to an ISP - even though on the open frequency spectrum - is an ICASA license required ? Kindest

Hi BHCTEC02

As soon as you cross a road you need a license. It looks like you are using the link in the same office park so you shouldn't need a license.

As far as I understand you need an exemption for such a link from ICASA. Get hold of Dominic Cull at Ellipsis he will be able to tell you exactly what is needed.
