NCA Extends 5G Spectrum Licence Application Deadline to August 27

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has published its Consolidated Response to queries on the 5G spectrum licensing process and extended the deadline for applications.

In a press release, the NCA said the Consolidated Response addresses written queries received from prospective applicants following the Pre-Application Briefing held on June 27, 2026.

It also contains amendments, corrections, and clarifications arising from the review of the Request for Applications (RFA).

The RFA covers Spectrum Licences in the 700 MHz, 2.3 GHz, and 3 GHz Mid Bands for the provision of mobile broadband services, including 5G.

The Authority had earlier set Thursday, August 6, 2026, as the deadline for submission of applications.

The new deadline is now 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 27, 2026.

“The revised timetable in the RFA has been adjusted accordingly. The revised timetable is contained in the Consolidated Response,” the NCA stated.

Prospective applicants have been advised to read the Consolidated Response together with the RFA and take note of the revised timetable and all amendments contained in the document.
