Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) regulates and oversees the licensing of radio frequency spectrum throughout the country. To make it easier for small operators and businesses to access 5G wireless services and beyond, ISED has developed a Non-Competitive Local Licensing (NCLL) process. The decision-making process is automated, with an intuitive online portal that streamlines applications, verifies eligibility, and checks spectrum availability, while ensuring policy compliance and equitable distribution.
This page includes detailed results from the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) for automating the Non-Competitive Local Licensing Process.
