Keep Your Radio System Properly Licensed
Changes to your communications system can affect your FCC licensing requirements. Adding frequencies, changing transmitter locations, modifying system configurations or expanding operations may require updates to an existing license.
Wireless Voice & Data can review your current licensing information and help identify the frequencies, locations and system parameters associated with your authorization. We then help manage the necessary paperwork and coordination so your licensing accurately reflects your radio system.
Frequency Coordination
Selecting a frequency involves more than finding an available channel. Frequency coordination helps identify appropriate frequencies for your radio system while minimizing the potential for interference with other licensed users.
Wireless Voice & Data can assist with the coordination process as part of a new license application or system modification, helping ensure your proposed radio system is properly documented before submission to the FCC.
FCC License Management
Don't wait until a license is about to expire to determine whether your records are current.
Wireless Voice & Data can help monitor and manage your radio licenses, including upcoming renewals, construction notifications and other licensing requirements. If you're unsure what licenses your organization currently holds, we can research existing FCC records and help determine what action may be needed.
