Govt Announces New Rules for Satellite Equipment

The Pakistani government has introduced new regulations for satellite communication equipment, mandating that devices adhere to specific technical standards outlined in the Telecommunication Equipment Standards Regulations, 2024. These standards, which draw from international frameworks such as those established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), encompass a wide range of equipment used in satellite communications, including maritime radio devices and mobile satellite services.

To obtain a certificate of conformity, applicants must submit a comprehensive set of documents, including a declaration of conformity, test reports from accredited laboratories, and network connectivity diagrams. The regulations also empower authorities to conduct inspections, either with or without prior notice, and mandate the maintenance of updated records of telecommunication equipment for at least three years.
