Class & Individual ECS/ECNS Applications

Electronic Communications Network Service (ECNS) Licence

cellphone towers or mast

  • An ECNS license allows its holder to construct and operate a physical, electronic communication network.

 

  • This network can comprise any technology you choose: radio equipment (for a wireless network), copper cabling, fiber optic cabling, etc. 


  • Should you only be interested in providing Electronic Communications Network services like being a signal distributor for radio and TV licensees, an ECNS license alone will be sufficient; however, if you also want to provide internet services. You will need to have both ECS and ECNS licenses.


  • ECNS licensees can enter into commercial arrangements with other ECS licensees to allow them to use their network for their electronic communications services.


Electronic Communications Service (ECS) Licence

  • An ECS license allows its holder to provide electronic communications services to customers over their network or any ECNS license holder's network.

.

  • This is the type of license held by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).


  • Should you want to provide electronic communications services using your network, you must have both ECS and ECNS licenses.


  • An ECS license holder can enter into a commercial arrangement with an ECNS license holder to use their network for electronic communications services if they don't want to have their own ECNS license.



Class Licence vs Individual Licence

Class ECS/ECNS Applications

A Class ECNS Licence allows the holder to roll out and operate an electronic communications network in a district or local municipality. In other words, the licensee will choose to work in a municipal area and provide access services to consumers in that area.


This is the form of license required by operators wanting to set up their network focusing on a smaller area.


A Class ECS Licence, on the other hand, allows the holder to provide the same services as the Individual ECS license, except for voice services requiring numbers from the National Numbering Plan, in a district or local municipality. 

Individual ECS/ECNS Licence Applications

An Individual ECS Licence allows the holder to provide services to customers over the network of an ECNS licensee, including voice or VoIP services that use numbers taken from the National Numbering Plan, nationwide or across a province. 


Whereas an Individual ECNS Licence allows the holder to roll out and operate an electronic communications network nationwide or across a province. 


N.B. ICASA is currently not accepting new applications for Individual ECS/ECNS Applications but only accept renewal applications and transfer applications. New applications for Individual ECS/ECNS Licences are only accepted after an Invitation To Apply (ITA).
