The utilisation of designated radio frequencies
Use of radio frequencies defined by general authorisation is laid down in each general authorisation. The terms and conditions under which the relevant frequencies and frequency bands can be used are set out in these general authorisations. Here is information about certain groups of equipment we are frequently asked about:
Short Range Devices
Frequencies and the terms and conditions of their utilisation are presented in General Authorisation No. VO-R/10/07.2021-8 for the use of radio frequencies and for the operation of short range devices.
| 27 MHz | Operation is possible according to VO-R/10/07.2021-8. |
| 49 MHz | Operation is not permitted (devices interfere with radio service and non-civil applications). |
| 230–400 MHz | The band is reserved for the purposes of national defence – no civil operation is permitted. |
| 433 MHz |
Operation is possible according to VO-R/10/07.2021-8. (only data transmission; wireless headsets are not permitted) |
|
470−694 MHz, 823–832 MHz |
The operation of wireless microphones is possible according to VO-R/10/07.2021-8. |
|
694–823 MHz, 832–862 MHz |
The operation of wireless microphones has not been permitted. |
| 863–865 MHz | The operation of acoustic applications is possible according to VO-R/10/07.2021-8. |
|
863–876 MHz, |
Operation is possible according to VO-R/10/07.2021-8 |
|
694-823 MHz, 832–862 MHz, 876-915 MHz, |
Band for the operation of mobile networks – the operation of other applications is not permitted. |
| 1,2 GHz | Cannot be used in Europe for short range devices. |
| 1785−1800 MHz | Operation of wireless microphones is possible according to VO-R/10/07.2021-8. |
| 2,4 GHz | Operation (RLAN, RFID, short range devices) is possible according to VO-R/12/11.2021-11 nebo VO-R/10/07.2021-8. |
Equipment in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band
The 2400–2483.5 MHz band is currently the one that is used very intensively. Based on general authorisations VO-R/12/11.2021-11 and VO-R/10/07.2021-8 this band is shared by wireless network applications, including wireless Internet (RLAN, WLAN - IEEE 802.11b, g, n standards), Bluetooth equipment and certain other applications (wireless cameras, railway applications, RFID, etc.). The state control of electronic communications deals quite often with problems caused in particular by non-compliance with the established performance and, pursuant to Electronic Communications Act, sanctions them.
In the 5 GHz band, operation is possible according to VO-R/12/11.2021-11 and VO-R/10/07.2021-8 in the 5.15-5.35 GHz band (the use outside the building only in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band is subject to registration), in the 5.470-5.725 GHz band, in the 5.725-5.850 GHz band (subject to registration) and, under certain conditions, now also in the 5.945-6.425 GHz band.
BMIS equipment
The operation of wireless local information system (BMIS) stations in the 70 MHz band is possible according to General Authorisation No. VO-R/2/05.2018-5.
Broadband data transmission stations incl. point-to-point links
The use of radio frequencies and the operation of equipment in the 10 GHz frequency band is possible according to General Authorisation No. VO-R/14/05.2020-7.
The use of radio frequencies and the operation of equipment in the 57-71 GHz frequency band is possible according to General Authorisation No. VO-R/12/12.2019-10.
The obligation to report is laid down in relation to the bands 5,2 GHz, 5,8 GHz, 57–66 GHz and 71–76 / 81–86 GHz. Further information about the web reporting portals is provided in relevant general authorisations.
