The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has completed the smart transformation process of the frequency spectrum services as part of its strategy to enhance smart transformation in the UAE. Customers can now receive frequency spectrum services from their location without the need to visit TRA or its service centers, starting by applying for the service, until transaction is completed.
TRA has announced the completion of the last paper transaction for spectrum services, and thus, achieving full smart transformation of services. This step is part of TRA institutional values to achieve customer happiness, as well as its strategy to improve the quality of services provided in the UAE ICT sector, to ensure keeping pace with the ICT technology development, provide all administrative services according to the standards of quality, efficiency and transparency, and enhance a smart lifestyle in the UAE.

H.E. Al Mansoori clarified that "the success and progress of the smart transformation of the ICT sector facilitate the smart transformation of the other sectors and services, as the telecommunications sector is the key to development in the knowledge-based society and economy that we are witnessing today. We are currently working to enhance interconnection internally and with various entities, which would strengthen integration to achieve the strategic directions of our beloved country, particularly global leadership."
The Frequency Spectrum Management in TRA organized an awareness workshop for the customers regarding new services and the way to apply them. Additionally, it addressed the customers' pertinent experience, comments and expectations.
