Ofcom Licence Management

 

All UK business radios require a fully managed licence in order to operate within the law.  

​

At InTouch, we can help you to identify the licence you require and make the application for you, managing any technical queries and renewals - meaning you don't need to worry about whether or not you have all the legal bases covered.

​

Should you have any issues with interference by non-licensed users we will act on your behalf to arrange with Ofcom to investigate the issue and where necessary enforce the termination of use.

​

More information can be found on the Ofcom website

​

If you are unsure if you need an Ofcom licence, give us a call or get in touch via our contact page.

​

  • Do I Need an Ofcom licence?
    Yes, all UK business radios require an Ofcom licence. Without one, you are breaking the law. If you are using low powered unlicenced private radios, you do not need a licence, however you may experience poor range and performance.
  • How much does an Ofcom licence cost?
    Generally an Ofcom licence costs £105 p/year, which includes our admin fee for managing all areas of your licence. Here is the link to the Ofcom fee calculator https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0022/36823/nonexcelguide.pdf
  • What if I don't have an Ofcom licence?
    It is an offence under Section 8 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 to establish, install or use wireless telegraphy stations or apparatus without a valid licence. On conviction, the maximum penalties for an offence under that section are two years’ imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
  • How long does it take to get an Ofcom licence?
    It can take up to 6 weeks for Ofcom to process any licence application.
  • What kind of Ofcom licence do I need?
    Most of our businesses have a technically assigned licence. A technically assigned licence is where Ofcom allocate frequencies to you which are not usually shared with anyone else, thus reducing the possibility of any interference. Some businesses may fall under Simple UK Light or Simple Site Light, which cover local on-site communications. You will need an Area Defined licence if you are looking to cover a wide area. Give us a call to discuss your requirements.

We manage and maintain 500+ Ofcom licences for our customers. This service includes applying for licences, renewals, amendments and dealing with Ofcom on the licencees behalf.
