The Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) of Saudi Arabia has announced a public consultation on a draft regulatory document focused on the use of radio spectrum for Program Making and Special Events (PMSE) applications. PMSE applications typically involve the use of wireless devices such as microphones, speakers, video cameras, and data links that are essential for broadcasting, live events, and large public gatherings.

The regulation aims to enhance spectrum efficiency, reduce interference, and support high-quality communications during major events. This draft regulation is part of CST’s initiative to enhance the efficiency and transparency of spectrum use in support of high-quality event productions across the Kingdom. Key aspects of the draft regulation include:

The draft regulation aims to enhance spectrum management for Program Making and Special Events (PMSE) by introducing a licensing framework to ensure compliance and reduce interference. It sets technical standards for device performance, allocates specific frequency bands to minimize interference, and optimizes spectrum use, particularly in crowded areas or large events. The regulation also focuses on reducing signal disruptions and encourages feedback from stakeholders to ensure transparency and inclusiveness.
