What is the FCC?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency, directly responsible to Congress. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934, and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC’s jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. possessions.
Are there penalties for using radios without an FCC license?
Yes. The FCC’s policy statement 91-217 (effective August 1, 1991), established fines of $8,000.00 per day for unlicensed and/or improperly licensed radio systems. There are various other fines that can also be charged.
Who is required to have an FCC License?
Almost all, commercial or public entity radios need to be licensed. Unless you are a Subscriber on a Communications Service UHF LTR or Community Repeater System, you are required to hold an FCC License for your commercial or public radios. Basically, anything over 1 watt of power needs to have an FCC License.
The Communications Consultants at Broadway Technologies, Inc. will assist you in the preparation of all documents necessary to license your business or public safety radio system with the FCC. There is no charge from our company for this assistance or for the renewal of existing licenses. Since we prepare, submit and monitor the license application, the entire licensing process is virtually transparent to our customers.
