TDRA Extends the Validity of Wireless Authorizations of Hospitals

As part of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TDRA)’s efforts to support the precautionary measures taken by the UAE health sector in the current circumstances, TDRA stated that it has extended the validity of all wireless authorizations of hospitals and medical centers across the country, regardless of the expiry date of the authorization.

TDRA also announced that it has provided a package of backup radio frequencies to support the wireless communication system in the health sector in the UAE, so that it can be allocated immediately upon request without the need to pre-pay the fees required to complete the transaction.

TDRA assured that the spectrum monitoring system works around the clock to limit any harmful wireless interference that impedes the work of vital services. Additionally, hospitals and medical centers will be given priority in the event of jamming or interference affecting their devices or causing delay or disruption of their work, in order to strengthen and support the precautionary measures taken by the UAE to protect society and preserve the health of citizens and residents.
