| Scope boundary | Network access permit covers telecom equipment connected to public telecom networks and network access licensing materials. | Radio management and band rules covers radio transmitting equipment, 2400/5100/5800 MHz band requirements, micro-power catalogue, and radio technical evidence. | Run separate scope decisions when the same launch can trigger both Network access permit and Radio management and band rules. |
|---|
| Covered actors | Network access permit work is usually owned by telecom regulatory, product certification, applicant, and network equipment owner. | Radio management and band rules work is usually owned by wireless hardware, RF test, radio regulatory, and product launch owner. | Assign separate owners when the legal route, regulator, filing, assessment, permit, or evidence package is different. |
|---|
| Trigger event | Network access permit screening starts with equipment intended to connect to public telecom networks. | Radio management and band rules screening starts with equipment transmitting radio signals or using regulated bands/micro-power categories. | Record the triggering event and launch date for each route before reusing technical evidence. |
|---|
| Core obligations | Network access permit requires the team to translate its official articles or measures into concrete controls for telecom equipment connected to public telecom networks and network access licensing materials. | Radio management and band rules require controls for radio transmitting equipment, 2400/5100/5800 MHz band requirements, micro-power catalogue, and radio technical evidence. | Shared facts can support both routes, but the legal conclusion and required action must be written separately. |
|---|
| Evidence package | A defensible Network access permit file includes equipment classification, application materials, test/certification evidence, review correspondence, permit/certificate records. | A defensible Radio management and band rules file includes band assessment, radio test reports, technical parameters, micro-power category check, transition review, and launch approval. | Reuse common documents only after each file identifies why the document satisfies that route. |
|---|
| Timing and refresh points | Network access permit timing should track effective dates, filing windows, review periods, renewals, or transition dates named in its sources. | Radio management and band rules timing should track its own effective dates, implementation windows, reporting periods, renewals, or market-entry deadlines. | Calendar each route independently; a date in one regime does not extend or replace a date in the other. |
|---|
| Enforcement exposure | Network access permit exposure usually follows the actor, regulator, and failure mode tied to equipment intended to connect to public telecom networks. | Radio management and band rules exposure usually follows the actor, regulator, and failure mode tied to equipment transmitting radio signals or using regulated bands/micro-power categories. | Preserve the evidence trail before launch, filing, transfer, procurement, sale, or disposal because later remediation is weaker than a dated decision record. |
|---|
| Overlap and routing | Network access permit and Radio management and band rules can use the same product, app, supplier, data-flow, or equipment facts, but Network access permit owns the decision for telecom equipment connected to public telecom networks and network access licensing materials. | Radio management and band rules owns the decision for radio transmitting equipment, 2400/5100/5800 MHz band requirements, micro-power catalogue, and radio technical evidence. | Create linked records rather than copying one conclusion across both regimes. |
|---|
| Practical decision rule | Choose Network access permit when the immediate blocker is equipment intended to connect to public telecom networks. | Choose Radio management and band rules when the immediate blocker is equipment transmitting radio signals or using regulated bands/micro-power categories. | Run both tracks when the same China or cross-market launch creates both Network access permit and Radio management and band rules triggers. |
