Obtaining Licensing For Thuraya Transceivers
Under rights given under ITU Radio Regulations, local telecommunications administrations establish
and enforce national rules and regulations governing types of emissions, power levels, and other
parameters that affect the purity of signal, which may be radiated in the various frequency bands of the
radio spectrum.
To legally operate Thuraya equipment, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local
telecommunications regulatory authorities of the country you are operating from. Using your
equipment in any country without permission causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the
equipment by the local authorities. The normal procedure to bring such equipment into another
country is to apply for a license before travel. If a license has not been obtained before travel,
the equipment may be put in to storage by local authorities until such time license is obtained.
