Whereas the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA), pursuant to Law
No.10 of 2003 on Telecommunication Regulation, is the sole entity authorized to regulate telecom
sector through implementing the policies set to develop and disseminate telecommunications, in
different types, in line with the recent technology thereof, and to ensure all the requirements of
individual, corporate and productive, administrative as well as servicing sectors are met, with
respect to telecom services and at the most affordable prices, and to encourage investment on non-
monopolistic basis under the umbrella of free and open competition among national and
international expertise, guaranteeing the transparency of information, provision of inclusive
services and protecting user-rights.
Whereas NTRA is the sole entity authorized to grant licenses and permits to companies or
organizations wishing to provide and/ or operate telecom services, or work in telecom sector, and
to oversee as well as track the performance thereof as well as set the general rules to ensure
legitimate competition.
And due to the recent huge dissemination of IoT services across the world and the steady
development of such services in the Arab Republic of Egypt, and in light of Egypt Vision 2030,
seeking to establish a number of smart cities similar to the New Administrative Capital, and due
to the increasing inquiries about IoT licenses using different technologies, which have been
recently raised to NTRA.
In witness whereof, NTRA had studied all methodologies to be adopted to foster IoT services
within the borders of Egypt, and had also studied all obstacles hindering the dissemination of IoT
services and how to overcome such obstacles.
Hence, NTRA had decided to issue IoT Framework in the Arab Republic of Egypt entailing all
rules and Procedures necessary, pursuant to the terms and conditions of Law No.10 of 2003 on
