Ofcom Licence Management
LET BRENTWOOD COMMUNICATIONS MANAGE YOUR OFCOM LICENCE
All radio solutions, except license free radio, require a fully managed license which will give you access to a radio spectrum.
We can assist in the application completion and management of your Ofcom Business Radio Licence, ensuring your spectrum use is completely legal and managed correctly.
The process of acquiring an Ofcom radio licence can be quite rigorous due to the technical specifications required. We will handle all the paperwork on your behalf removing the stress and worry involved with submitting the application on time.
It is a legal requirement when using a licensed two way radio. It also ensures each system delivers a quality service that will not suffer from interference or failures that could leave even the best designed system completely worthless.
With our Ofcom licence management, the licence remains in your name but allows Brentwood Communications, to receive all your Ofcom notices. This allows us to arrange for payment of your licensing costs and deal with any associated queries.
