In many countries it is quite legal to operate systems without need for operating licences. These
countries include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, South Africa, Scandinavia and
the majority of Europe. However, operation in these countries is normally subject to the equipment first
being approved to a defined standard, such as the UK MPT1329 or the European ETS 300-220-1.
Other countries, such as the United States also permit unlicensed transmissions under FCC- Part 15,
but both the power and duty cycle limits imposed make modem operation impractical for reliable
operation over distance more than a few tens of meters.
Before using your RTcom Radio Modem please ensure that you have purchased the correct version
and selected the correct frequency of operation. We have versions with many international approvals
ranging from FCC-Part 90 through to Australia Standards and our European versions carry the CE
mark. If in doubt please ask your local Radio-Tech Limited agent.
