Radio Licence Exempt Use
Ofcom is required to exempt radio stations, equipment or apparatus from the need to hold a wireless telegraphy licence where their use is not likely to involve any undue interference to other legitimate use of radio spectrum.
Radio Spectrum and The Law
In the UK the use of any radio transmitting device is required to be either licensed or specifically exempted from licensing under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 (WT Act 2006). For mobile telephones, the use of the spectrum by the network operators is licensed to cover the use of transmitters and repeaters which are under their control, while user devices (i.e.handsets) are covered by a general exemption. It should be noted in particular that cellular repeaters / boosters / enhancers are not exempted devices.
