It is unfortunate that cordless phones are only allowed to operate in the 1,9Ghz range, which is the approved spectrum by Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa). Any frequency higher than this would be deemed illegal by ICASA. Cape Town had issues with cell phone signal in certain areas, which was due to illegal cordless phones using the 2,4Ghz range. This spectrum is reserved for Cell phone operators. ICASA tracked down the culprits one by one using advanced triangulation technology and vehicles to pinpoint it. Due to these limitations with cordless phones, the other alternative for communicating over longer distances would be to use Motorola radios.
