Japan 920 MHz WPT license-free deployment moves closer as MIC advances its 920 MHz space-transmission wireless power transfer reform. The change lifts the indoor-only restriction to allow outdoor use within a premises and adds a new specified-low-power category, capped at 250 mW, that can run without an individual station licence. Licence-free is not certification-free: transmitters still need Giteki certification. Here is what manufacturers, importers and test labs should pl

The Mauritius ICTA 5G spectrum landscape has shifted. On 4 June 2026 the Information and Communication Technologies Authority opened the 2300-2400 MHz band and freed additional spectrum in the 2500-2690 MHz band for IMT networks, including 5G. The decision repeals the 15 April 2026 instrument, limits eligibility to established 5G operators, sets TDD synchronised technical conditions, references specific ETSI standards, and signals a possible shift to auction-based spectrum aw

Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has opened a public consultation on revising its standards, criteria and regulatory measures for human-health safety from radiocommunications equipment. The proposed changes target the NBTC RF exposure framework: the SAR and EMF limits, assessment methods and labelling that apply to body-proximate radio devices. This is a draft-stage measure, not an enacted rule; comments are open until 14 September 202

In June 2026, ETSI advanced five deliverables covering LTE user equipment, DECT, DAB broadcasting, ICT accessibility and environmental testing. This ETSI standards update explains what each item covers, which two are Radio Equipment Directive harmonised standards still on approval, and why on-approval status does not yet grant presumption of conformity. It sets out certification impact, a timeline, and the actions manufacturers, importers and labs should take now to protect E
