FCC licensing, handled with you from application to renewal.

Why a license matters

An FCC license gives your organization the legal right to operate on specific frequencies in a specific area. It also protects you. Licensed frequencies are coordinated so that nearby users are not assigned the same channel, which reduces the interference that makes unlicensed operation so frustrating. Operating without a required license can lead to fines from the FCC.

Frequency coordination and application

A new license begins with frequency coordination, in which an FCC-certified coordinator identifies frequencies suitable for your location and your type of operation. The application then describes your transmitter locations, antenna heights, power levels, and the number of radios you will operate. FirstCom Radio gathers that information with you and guides the application through the process.

Renewals and modifications

Licenses must be renewed, and they must be updated when your system changes. Adding a repeater, moving an antenna, converting from analog to digital, or expanding to a new location can all require a modification. We help you keep your license accurate and current so that a missed deadline never takes your system off the air.

Not sure what you have?

Many organizations inherit a radio system without knowing whether it is properly licensed. We can look up your existing licenses, compare them with the way your system actually operates, and tell you what, if anything, needs attention.
