FCC.gov
Above are two helpful links to learn more about FCC Licensing and to Access FCC.Gov to search for your organizations current licensing.
What the FCC license actually covers
When you apply for a business license, you specify a set of details. This is what defines your lawful operation.
- The legal entity that holds the license. Use your correct business name and address.
- Exact transmitter locations. For a building, this is the coordinates of the rooftop or mast. For a mobile-only fleet, you can license an area of operation.
- Frequencies and bandwidth. These come from the coordinator’s recommendation and your equipment capabilities.
- Emission designators. These define analog voice or digital voice and the channel spacing you will use.
- Antenna details. Height above ground, gain, and pattern if applicable.
- Power levels and service area. This helps define the interference footprint and keeps the system neighbor-friendly.
