FCC Licensing

Hassle-Free FCC Licensing And Compliance for the Northeast Business, Enterprise, and Government Sectors

Wireless communications are vital across many industries, including construction, manufacturing, transportation, and government. To operate these systems effectively and safely, securing the proper FCC licenses and approvals is essential. Ensuring compliance with FCC licensing and regulatory guidelines is crucial to avoid on-site accidents or hefty fines.

Navigating FCC regulations can be frustrating, difficult, and confusing. That’s where CitiComm steps in. Our team is here to streamline the wireless system licensing application process. Whether you’re seeking an initial license or need assistance with renewals, we ensure everything is done correctly, keeping you compliant and operationally safe.

Your business excels in your industry, with the best minds working on the job. However, understanding the intricate requirements of the FCC’s current regulations on two-way radios and narrowbanding may not be your expertise. CitiComm helps you navigate these complexities to avoid costly fines from the FCC. Partnering with trusted FCC advisory staff, we offer reliable assistance with:

• FCC License Modifications
• First-Time FCC License Applications
• FCC License Renewals
• License Relocations

Accurate paperwork is only part of the process. You must also ensure your business has the required equipment to meet FCC standards for narrowbanding. The FCC’s recent transition to 12.5 kHz means you can no longer use outdated analog radios operating on a 25 kHz signal. Forward-thinking business owners are now investing in radios and equipment within the 6.25 kHz range, anticipating further narrowbanding requirements, such as the MOTOTRBO 6.25 kHz digital radios.

FCC Narrowbanding Mandate:

In January 2013, the FCC mandated that all VHF and UHF licensees must use narrowband channels. This led many businesses to purchase new radio equipment or upgrade their existing setups. The FCC requires a license modification to confirm your equipment’s compliance. Failure to comply can result in license renewal denial and potential fines.

Understanding and adapting to these mandates can be overwhelming. At CitiComm, we take the stress out of this process by providing expert guidance and support every step of the way. We help you understand what these mandates mean for your operations and ensure your compliance with all relevant regulations. Our expertise ensures that your transition to narrowbanding is smooth and efficient.
