This document presents the update to Eswatini's National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP) for 2025.
The review and publication of this plan is the responsibility of the Eswatini Communications Commission, in compliance with the Electronic Communications Act No. 9 of 2013 and the Radio and Frequency Spectrum Regulations of 2016.
Radio spectrum planning and management in Eswatini is governed by the Electronic Communications Act, which establishes the spectrum as a national resource subject to efficient, equitable use, and aligned with the public interest. The legislation requires consultation with key stakeholders and allows for periodic reviews of the NFAP.
WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?
The direct impact is on mobile and fixed telecommunications operators, broadcasting service providers, government and public entities, the satellite industry, telecommunications equipment manufacturers and suppliers, and users of specialized services.
CONCLUSION:
Due to its technical, gradual, and planning-focused nature, but considering that it defines the framework for the development of the country's entire telecommunications ecosystem for several years, this update to the 2025 NFAP has a high impact.
