To use any radio transmitting device in the UK, the device will need to either be licensed or have a specific licence exemption.
These licence fees can range from a one-off fee of approximately £75 for five years, to £1500, which authorises the use of various business communication equipment.
Who Needs a Licence?

Without licensing, radio users and devices might interfere with each other’s signals, so it’s important to have that covered.
But don’t worry—any reputable radio supplier will be able to handle the licensing requirements of your system depending on its unique needs.
