video rf licensing
Professional Licensing for Wireless Video
Whilst some wireless cameras operate in public bands shared with WiFi and other consumer technologies, many don’t, and for these devices, frequency licenses will be required in most markets. Wireless cameras often operate in spectrum shared with the military, broadcasting or other critical services, and require careful frequency coordination to avoid interference with existing users.
The challenge
Each country has its own unique bureaucracy. The challenge lies in quickly identifying licensing requirements for your specific equipment, then navigating complex approval processes within tight production timelines.
Camera control channels (data telemetry) will also require licensing, and since the most popular UHF data return devices share spectrum with two-way radio and audio RF, these are best managed as part of an event-wide, cross-departmental approach to RF management and licensing.
