Licensing Requirements for Radio Services Introduction

This document summarises the ODTRs licensing requirements for radio services operating in Ireland. It is divided into five parts as detailed below: Part 1: Part II: Part III: Part IV: Part V: Licensing Requirements for the Mobile Services Licensing Requirements for the Fixed Services Licensing Requirements for the Broadcasting Services Permitted Short Range Devices In Ireland Licensing Requirements for Other Radio Services
This is not a legal document and does not constitute legal, commercial or technical advice. It is for guidance purposes only. Operators are at all times responsible for ensuring that they comply with all licensing, and other legal requirements currently in force under Irish and EC law. More detailed information on licensing requirements for radio services in Ireland can be obtained directly from the ODTR. Additional information on the use of the frequency bands in Ireland is available from The Table of Allocations - Ireland (document ODTR 01/23). Wherever possible, CEPT/ERC Decisions and Recommendations are followed. A list of these documents, and the current status of Irelands implementation of the CEPT/ERC Decisions is available from the ERO website: http://www.ero.dk
Note 1: The reference standards referred to in the Tables in Parts I to V are ETSI standards which predated the R&TTE Directive. In general, some of the requirements of these standards go beyond the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive. On foot of a mandate from the European Commission, ETSI will be revising these standards to adapt them to the R&TTE Directive. Note2: As well as the standards listed, other relevant equipment standards may be deemed suitable by the ODTR. Note 3: All equipment must comply with the essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive. Note 3: Licence conditions attached to telecommunications operators WT licences, Broadcast licences and fixed service licences require adherence to the ICNIRP Guidelines on non-ionising radiation emissions from base/broadcast stations.
Part 1 Licensing Requirements for the Mobile Services.
Part 1 Licensing Requirements for the Mobile Services. Introduction: This section summarises the licensing requirements for the Private or Professional Mobile Radio (PMR). Public Access Mobile Radio (PAMR - Community Repeaters, TETRA) paging services and VHF maritime mobile services. General Information: A Licence is required to operate all mobile services except PMR 4461. The standard channel spacing is 12.5 kHz except maritime mobile, TETRA and on-site paging, telemetry and telecommand systems in the band 458.5-459.5MHz. A user is normally required to share a frequency channel with other users. In Ireland there are 5 main bands available for mobile PMR/PAMR. VHF Low Band (68-87.5MHz): This band is used for PMR and PAMR (community repeaters) applications. VHF High Band (156-174MHz): This band is used for PMR, maritime mobile and inland waterway applications. UHF Band (450-470MHz): This band is used for PMR and PAMR( community repeaters). Fixed links in support of PMR systems also operate in this band. UHF Band (410-430MHz): PAMR. Analogue trunked radio systems are licensed in this band. TETRA is also planned for this band. VHF Midband (138-156MHz): This band has only been recently planned for use in Ireland. It is intended that it will be used for both PMR and PAMR (community repeaters).
Licensing requirement for PMR/PAMR systems are summarised in Table 1. Table 2 summarises the requirements for Paging services.
The use of hand portables which operate between 446 and 446.1 MHz with 12.5 kHz channel spacing, meet ETSI 300 296, use tone control and have a maximum power output of 0.5 W does not require a licence from the ODTR.

Part II: Licensing Requirements for the Fixed Services Introduction Licensing requirements for the fixed services are summarised in Table 3 and in the document ODTR 98/14 Guidelines for Applicants for Point to Point Radio Links in Spectrum above 1 GHz. Fixed Services in frequency bands below 1 GHz Analogue, 12.5kHz links, are licensed in the bands 410 440 MHz and 450-470MHz. These links operate in support of PMR systems. In the long term it is intended that fixed services will not operate in these bands and existing links will be relocated to bands > 1 GHz. Fixed Services in frequency bands above 1 GHz. The bands above 1 GHz are mainly used by digital systems in support of telecommunications, broadcasting and State services or to provide customer access. In licensing links, the ODTR seeks to optimise spectrum reuse. A link length policy is applied i.e. shorter links are required to use higher frequency bands. The licence also sets a limit on the link availability (which determines the required power margin to overcome short term fading) and encourages the use of spectrum efficient equipment. The main frequency bands used for high capacity Backbone networks are: 4 GHz (3600 4200 MHz), L6 GHz (5925 6426 MHz), U6 GHz (6425 7125 MHz), 7.5 GHz (7425 7725 MHz), L8 GHz (7725 88325 MHz), 11 GHz (10.711.7 GHz), 18 GHz (17.7-19.7 GHz) and 23 GHz (22.3-23.6 GHz). The main frequency bands used for access networks are: 15 GHz (14.5 15.35 GHz), 23 GHz (22.3 23.6 GHz) and 38 GHz (37.0 39.5 GHz).

Part IV Permitted Short Range Devices In Ireland
24
Part IV Permitted Short Range Devices In Ireland Introduction: The term "Short Range Device" (SRD) is intended to cover the radio transmitters which provide either uni-directional or bi-directional communication and which have low capability of causing interference to other radio equipment. SRDs use either integral, dedicated or external antennas and all modes of modulation can be permitted subject to relevant standards. Within Ireland, short range devices may be operated, within the confines of the technical parameters in Table 5, without the requirement of an individual user license. The terms of use, beyond those stipulated in Table 5 are that: SRDs in general operate in shared bands and are not permitted to cause harmful interference to other radio services in general SRDs cannot claim protection from other radio services due to the increasing interest in the use of SRDs for a growing number of applications it is necessary to harmonise frequencies and regulations for these devices there is a need to distinguish between different applications additional applications and associated annexes will be added as necessary
Table 5 indicates the short ranges devices (SRD) which are permitted in Ireland. Where possible CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 has been followed. In addition, other bands such as the band 173.2-173.3MHz are also permitted for low power devices.

Short Range Device Glossary of terms: Inductive Loop Systems are systems which operate by producing a controlled magnetic field within which a predetermined recognisable signal is formed. Examples include shop anti-theft tagging systems, car immobiliser keys and door access tokens. Non specific SRDs are used for general telemetry, telecommand, alarms and data with a low duty cycle. Telemetry means the transmission of remotely measured data. Telecommand means remote control. Video applications only above 2.4 GHz. Low Power Radio Transmitters are used for short range two-way voice communications e.g. toy walkie talkies. Model Control apparatus is used to control the movement of the model in the air, on land or over or under the water surface. Baby Monitors are used to transmit sound to a remote receiver. This device is commonly used to monitor the sound or movement of infants. Wireless Microphones transmit speech or music over short distances to a remote receiver in studios, theatres etc. Wireless Audio Sytems are typically used to replace the wired headphones or speakers in domestic hi-fi systems. Wideband Wireless Systems are general purpose high bit rate spread spectrum radio systems. FDDA means Field Disturbance and Doppler Apparatus. This is apparatus which operates by producing a radiated field and responding to any disturbance of that field caused by an intrusion or movement within the field by other devices, objects or persons. In this way it can detect or monitor the movement of objects or persons. Alarm systems sometimes use this type of equipment for intruder detection. Video Surveillance Equipment is typically used for security camera purposes to replace the cable between a camera and a monitor. AVI for Railways means Automatic Vehicle Identification for railways and is used to track and identify railway rolling stock. RTTT means Road Transport and Traffic Telematics. This is apparatus used for traffic management. Applications include automatic road toll collection, route guidance systems, vehicle or container identification, instant traffic information, parking management, advance incident warning and on-vehicle anti-collision radar. Hiperlan means a high performance radio local area network intended for indoor use, utilising spread-spectrum modulation techniques, to link computer nodes within a network.
