What type of licence do I need

Licences are granted according to the type of service that is required. The type of service selected also determines the frequency bands available.

The types of services are:

• Aeronautical
• Amateur
• Broadcasting
• Citizen Band – Public Radio Service
• Fixed
• Land mobile
• Maritime
• Meteorological aids
• Paging
• Radiodetermination
• Satellite
• Telemetry/telecontrol

It is important to submit the licence application for the correct category. The applicant may be liable to pay the engineering fees if the licence is engineered for the wrong type of service due to incorrect or partial information on the application.

Other services

It may be possible to grant a licence in other services for a frequency or frequency band that is not covered by the categories listed above. For such instances an approach should be made to the Radio Spectrum Planning section.
