Kenya Regulator Opens Consultation on Licensing GSM-Based Alarm Response Systems

Kenya’s Communications Authority (CA) has launched a consultation on a proposed licensing framework for alarm response systems as the regulator moves to establish clearer requirements for GSM-based security alarm services. The Authority said technological advances have led to the growing deployment of GSM-based alarm response systems by various organisations. These systems use SIM-enabled devices and licensed public mobile networks to transmit alarm signals.
