Two-way radio licensing
Professional Radio Licensing for Tours, Events and Permanent Installations
e
Every country requires licensing for two-way radio communications, but navigating the complex application processes required by each national licensing authority can lead to headaches and delays.
Our data-driven approach ensures your two-way radio frequencies are ready when you or your hire company needs them – not weeks after your tour radios are already programmed and in a container ship headed for Europe.
The challenge
Each country has its own bureaucracy, processing times and technical requirements. Tour radio frequencies often need programming at short notice – sometimes the same week or even day the equipment order is processed.
Our Data-Driven approach to Radio Licensing
Frequency Planning based on historical data
Our extensive database of previously-obtained radio licences across global cities and venues allows us to calculate frequencies that are likely to be licensable across all venues on your routing. Instead of just hoping for the best, we use historical performance data to identify the most reliable banks of frequencies for your tour.
Zones Ready-to-Go
In whatever timeframe your hire company needs to ship equipment, we can provide them with banks of proven, reliable frequencies that are either already licensed or with the applications in progress. Our informed, data-driven approach gives us the best chance of obtaining licences within tight touring timelines.
Care and Attention
Because we handle a significant proportion of RF for global tours and artists on the festival circuit each summer, we check all frequencies we issue against those we’ve already programmed for other acts who we know will be in the same vicinity. No more trying to shout over the same channel as someone else.
What We Handle For You
International Complexity
We deal with all licensing authorities, application processes, paperwork and follow-up communications across every territory on your routing. Each country has different requirements, contact procedures and processing expectations – we navigate all of this complexity behind the scenes.
Due Diligence
You can proceed with your project assured in the knowledge that you are fully legally compliant and won't be conflicting with other local radio users such as security teams, emergency services, critical infrastructure or other essential communications in each location.
Simplified Documentation
We provide you with a simple one-page licensing summary for your project, outlining approved zones and channels in plain English.
No more trying to decipher the 18-page document in a foreign language that the promotor has forwarded you – just the essential information your technical team needs.
Simplified Billing
You’ll receive a single invoice covering all licensing requirements across your entire project, eliminating the hassle of managing multiple payments to different licensing authorities in various currencies. If we’re also licensing your audio or video devices or providing frequency coordination, all can be invoiced together.
