Australia
Current status
Television broadcasting uses spectrum in two frequency bands known as the Very High Frequency
(VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands. Based on the historical television standards used in
Australia, the spectrum allocated for television broadcasting is divided into spectrum channels with a
bandwidth of 7 MHz. Spectrum in the VHF range (174–230 MHz) is referred to as channels 6–12 and
spectrum in the UHF range (526–694 MHz) as channels 28–51. The amount of VHF and UHF spectrum
currently used for broadcasting includes unallocated channels.

Wireless audio devices operate under a “Class Licence”, meaning that no special approvals or licence
is required to operate equipment that meets the following frequency and power specs.

 Use of free frequencies (no approval needed) from 174 - 230 MHz, max. e.i.r.p. 3 mW
 Use of free frequencies (no approval needed) between 520 - 694 MHz, max e.i.r.p. 100mW
 Use of free frequencies (no approval needed) between 1785 - 1800 MHz, max e.i.r.p. 100mW

Operation on the frequencies shown above is as a secondary service, sharing with DTV transmission,
on the basis that you do not operate outdoors on the same frequency as a DTV service licenced in
the location, and that you operate on a “no interference – no protection” basis.

Application can be made to operate outdoors on the same frequency as a DTV service licenced in the
location for special events.

Note that DTV channels are allocated on a “Block Planning” approach in Australia, with 6 consecutive
channels, each 7 MHz wide, allocated to each DTV market. This means that in any location there will
be at least one complete block of 42 MHz fully occupied by DTV transmission. In some locations more
than 1 Block is in use – refer to www.frequencyfinder.com.au for up to date information about VHF &
UHF DTV frequency allocation in any area of Australia

Approval can be requested to operate on higher power levels within these bands for defined
“Special Events”

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina does not license microphones in general, on a tuning range basis ( Rule
81/2017, Annex X, the transposed ERC-REC 70-03 of that date) mic's can be used without licensing in
the following bands:

RADIO MICROPHONE APPLICATIONS INCLUDING ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES (ALD), WIRELESS

AUDIO AND MULTIMEDIA STREAMING SYSTEMS

This annex covers frequency bands and regulatory parameters recommended for the use of radio
microphone applications, hearing aids and wireless audio and multimedia streaming systems. It
includes both professional and consumer radio microphones, both hand-held and body-worn, in-ear
monitoring devices and Assistive Listening Devices (ALD). It also includes wireless audio and
multimedia streaming (real-time playback including signal transmission and synchronization) devices,
including wireless speakers, wireless headphones, low-power FM receivers that within the 87.5 to
108 MHz band create an RF connection between the transmission device and sound reproduction
including cell phones, home entertainment systems or similar car systems, etc.

We do not give any guarantee for the correctness or completeness of the information.
 8

Additionally, PMSE equipment is licensed (mostly with temporary licenses) in 2 GHz and 10 GHz
bands according to the Rule 91/2019 , Article 4 - referencing to the CEPT documents ERC/REC 25-10,
ECC REP 204, ECC REP 002, ERC REP 038, ERC REP 042. The Rule 91/2019 also stipulates that:

“In individual cases for the purpose of service in radio and TV broadcasting and programme making
(PMSE applications) other bands outside the ranges listed in Table 1 of the Annex can be allocated to
temporary and portable audio-video links in line with the Plan of Allocation and Utilization and CEPT
documents ERC/REC 25-10, ECC REP 204, ECC REP 002, ERC REP 038, ERC REP 042.”

Denmark
No individual license required / License exempt frequencies

In the Danish frequency plan some frequency bands have been allocated to be used for
wireless microphones. In all of those bands the frequencies can be used without a licence
(licence exemption).
 138.2 - 142.070 MHz, 50 mW ERP, 200 kHz - Only some frequencies are allowed
 470 – 695 MHz, 50 mW ERP, 200 kHz - White spaces only

It is possible to use wireless microphones without permission in parts of the frequency band 470-
695 MHz. Which parts you may use depends on where in Denmark you use the wireless
microphones.
Find frequencies on maps

Wireless microphones can use 470-695 MHz (and in addition 695-703 MHz) without permission,
as long as they live up to the technical requirements given in the Executive Order on the use of
radio frequencies without permission as well as amateur radio tests and call signals etc. and radio
interface no. 00 025, cf. executive order on radio interfaces.
A Frequency app has been developed for Android and iPhone. With the app you can always find a
frequency in 470-695 MHz - even when you are out in the field.
The available frequencies will change as the TV network is rebuilt. Therefore, one should
regularly check the available frequencies at lengthy events.

 695 – 703 MHz, 60 mW ERP, 200 KHz

 823 – 832 MHz, 100 mW e.i.r.p. 200 kHz - Handheld only 20mW in 823-826 MHz
 863 – 865 MHz, 10 mW ERP, 200 kHz
 1785 – 1804,8 MHz, 50 mW e.i.r.p., 200 kHz - Handheld only 20mW

Mandatory application / Applying for a short-term license (PMSE-license)
 The radio microphones will be license-exempted if they operate on the allowed frequencies and
accordance with the standard. In cases where parameters of use such like maximum ERP ( 10
mW - 60 mW ) or bandwidth ( ≤ 200 kHz ) deviates from those exempted from license TRAFICOM
grants a radio license if necessary to the radio microphone. The radio licenses are applied for
from TRAFICOM using the form on the website and TRAFICOM assigns parameters and the
frequencies to be used in the radio license.
https://www.traficom.fi/en/contact-form-event-organizers

Fees
 The frequency fee of a license bases on the number of equipment and frequencies used. The
frequency fee of a short-term license is at least one fourth of an annual frequency fee but no less
than EUR 18.
 Typical fees (for using a bandwidth of 200 kHz):
- 18 EUR for a single microphone up to 12 months
- 18 EUR for 8 microphones up to 3 months
- 65 EUR for 8 microphones up to 12 months

No individual license required / License exempt frequencies

In the following bands license exemption applies for frequency usages employing transmit
parameters that match license exemption criteria (check the spectrum information system
for details via this link; http://stir.nmhh.hu/?lang=2). Otherwise a license has to be asked for
and the requested transmission parameters will be subject of thorough investigation (for
possible interference), based on which a temporary license might be issued (see note 1):

 174 - 216 MHz, max. 50 mW ERP

 470 - 694 MHz, max. 50 mW ERP
 694 - 703 MHz, 733 -758 MHz, 50 mW ERP; available until 05.09.2020
 786 -789 MHz, 12 mW ERP; available until 05.09.2020

 826 - 832 MHz, max. 100 mW e.i.r.p.
 863 - 865 MHz, max. 10 mW ERP
 1350 - 1400 MHz, max. 20 mW e.i.r.p. or max. 50 mW e.i.r.p. for body-worn wireless
microphones or for use with SSP (Spectrum Scanning Procedure)
 1492 - 1518 MHz, 50 mW e.i.r.p.
 1518 - 1525 MHz, 50 mW e.i.r.p.
 1785-1804.8 MHz, max. 20 mW e.i.r.p. or max. 50 mW e.i.r.p. for body-worn wireless
microphones or for use with SSP
 1880 - 1900 MHz, for DECT equipment, max 250 mW e.i.r.p. (see note 2).

Notes:
1) In fortunate cases when the tuning range of an equipment falls outside the listed frequency ranges
but harmful interference will probably not be caused (based on the interference check of the
Authority) a license might also be issued. In such cases please request information from our licensing
department.
2) Stations fulfilling the requirements of Decision ERC/DEC/(98)22 are exempted from the obligation
of individual licensing. It is not forbidden to use the band for audio PMSE although it is originally not
meant for this purpose.

Fees

Fees of HUF 4000 per transmitter will be levied (fee of temporary license for shorter than
1 month of operation).
The relevant rules can be found in the Decree NMHH 1/2011 (III. 31.):

New Zealand
No individual license required / License exempt frequencies

Wireless audio devices are permitted to operate in New Zealand between the frequencies
of 510 MHz and 606 MHz and between 622 MHz and 698 MHz, under class licence
provisions which limit maximum e.i.r.p. to 250 mW and can operate on blocks used by DTV
on the “no interference – no protection” basis.

At the time of writing no DTV channels are planned to operate between 622 MHz and 698
MHz from March 11th, 2015, however the lower block between 526 MHz to 606 MHz is
used for DTV throughout most of the country. TV Channels in New Zealand are 8 MHz wide,
and in some places frequencies of operation start at 510 MHz.

Operation under the General User Licence is as a secondary service, sharing with DTV
transmission, on the basis that you do not operate on the same frequency as a DTV service
licenced in the location, and that you operate on a “no interference - no protection” basis.

From 11 March 2015, radio microphones (and other wireless audio devices such as in-
earpieces) are no longer permitted to operate in the 698-806 MHz frequency range (the 700
MHz band).

Note 1: 502 MHz to 510 MHz may also be used with the maximum power limit of
-10 dBW e.i.r.p. which is equivalent to around 100 mW.

Operation under the class licence means there is no need to apply for a licence to operate
equipment that complies, and there are no fees or charges applicable.

How to get a short- or long-term license?

Any request for license should be addressed to ANACOM using our virtual desk, available at:
https://www.anacom.pt/bvirtual/bvru/index.do?do=/acesso_direto.do&languageId=1

Fees for a short-term license

For temporary licences, the value of the usage fees to be collected is reached by using the
following formula: Applicable annual fee x (no. of days of licence validity / 360 days). For
occasional audio links, the applicable annual fee is as follows:

SAP/SAB -Annual fee

Audio links (per frequency) € 2 250,00

We would also like to point out that minimum and urgency (when applicable) fees will be
applied. See below:
 Minimum Fee: The value of 50 euros is the minimum value of spectrum fee applicable
to stations or networks of each Radiocommunications Service/Application to be used
for temporary events.
 Urgency Fee: If the application for temporary licensing is not submitted to ANACOM
up to ten days prior to the date on which it is proposed the radio licence should come

For the purpose of this technical regulation, Short-Range Device (SRD) means radio transmitters,
which provide either unidirectional or bidirectional communication and which transmit over a
short distance at low power.
For the purpose of this Technical Regulation, radio microphones are small, low power (typically
50 mW or less) transmitters designated to be worn on the body, or hand held, for the
transmission of sound.
For the purpose of this technical regulation, non-interference and non-protected basis means the
interdiction that no harmful interference may be caused to any radio communications service
and that no claim may be made for protection of these devices against harmful interference
originating from radio communications services.

Licensed and Unlicensed Operation Permitted

It is permissible to operate wireless microphones and in ear monitoring systems on either a
licensed or unlicensed basis in several bands. In the television broadcasting bands, a power
limit of 50 mW applies for unlicensed operation; licensed microphones and in ear monitor
transmitters may operate with up to 250 mW in the UHF television band.
Wireless microphones may operate on locally unused television channels within the VHF and
UHF television broadcasting bands between 54-72, 76-88, 174-216, and 470-698 MHz Note5.
Locally unused television channels may be determined by consulting one of the wireless
microphone manufacturers’ online frequency finders, or the website of one of the FCC
approved database operators.
Licensed users may register TV channels they intend to use with one of the FCC approved
database operators to receive interference protection from White Space Devices operating
in the TV bands. Unlicensed users are no longer able to register with a database.
In addition to the television bands, wireless microphones can also operate in one of the three
license-exempt (ISM) bands at 902 - 928 MHz, 2 400 - 2 483.5 MHz or 5 725 - 5 850 MHz as
well as the UPCS (DECT) band at 1 920 - 1 930 MHz. Microphones operating in these bands
have different technical requirements than those for use in the television bands. They are
shared with other devices and may be congested at certain times and places.
As a result of the Incentive Auction of UHF (600 MHz) television band frequencies, wireless
microphones and in ear monitoring systems must stop operating in the 600 MHz band except
in designated guard band frequencies by the end of the transition period on July 13, 2020.
Those who do not comply may experience high levels of interference and could also face fines.
The 600 MHz frequencies that will continue to be available for wireless microphone use
include a 2 MHz guard band from 614 - 616 MHz, plus a 10 MHz portion of the duplex gap
from 653 - 663 MHz. The lower 4 MHz of the duplex gap will be exclusively for licensed
wireless microphones, and the upper 6 MHz will be shared between wireless microphones
and White Space Devices on a co-equal basis. Unlicensed operation will be permitted in 614
- 616 MHz and 657 - 663 MHz, and licensed operation will be permitted in 653 - 657 MHz. The
spectrum below Channel 37 will continue to be used for television broadcasting. Wireless
microphone users are advised to check with one of the TV Bands databases to determine the
available channels at the location where they plan to operate.
Additional spectrum for licensed users is available in the 941.5 – 952, 952.85 – 956.25, 956.45
– 959.85, 1 435 - 1 525, 6 875 - 6 900, and 7 100 - 7 125 MHz rangesNote6. Technical standards
for these bands have now been finalized. Users must check with a local frequency coordinator
before operation begins. There are special conditions for operation in the 1 435 - 1 525 MHz
band. Access protocols are currently being worked on with AFTRCC, the coordinator for that
band.
….
Note5: after the current transition phase ends on July 13, 2020, the UHF television broadcasting band will be
limited to 470-608 MHz. Wireless microphones will be permitted in the lower guard band at 612-614 MHz and
in the duplex gap band from 653-663 MHz.

Note6: the 6 875 – 6 900 and 7 100 – 7 125 MHz bands may be reallocated to other services in the future.
