The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) has acquired three new high-tech spectrum interference detection vehicles. <\/p>\n
The vehicles will enable ICASA<\/a> to monitor compliance and enforcement of radio frequency spectrum usage. Section 30 of the Electronic Communications Act Radio empowers ICASA to control, plan, manage and administer the radio frequency spectrum. <\/p>\n Further, the Act provides that no person may transmit any signal by radio or use radio apparatus to receive any signal by radio except under and in accordance with a radio frequency spectrum licence granted by ICASA.<\/p>\n ICASA made it clear that if anybody is found to be using the frequency spectrum illegally, their equipment will be confiscated and they will be liable for prosecution in a court of law.<\/p>\n Images of the new vehicles are available here: http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/photos\/showphoto.php?photo=3163<\/a> and http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/photos\/showphoto.php?photo=3165<\/a><\/p>\n
