Short Answer
BAKOM is responsible for frequency issues in Switzerland. For professional business radio, the application area, usage, technical parameters, locations, devices, and frequency requirements must be clearly described. A radio partner can carry out the technical groundwork, prepare suitable information, and ensure that device selection, repeater concept, and programming fit the allocation.
A frequency allocation is not merely paperwork. It affects channel planning, devices, repeaters, antennas, and future operation.
Typical Technical Specifications
- Organization and purpose of use.
- Application area and locations.
- Direct radio, repeaters, or building radio.
- Frequency range, power, antennas, and devices.
- Contact person and technical responsibility.
From Requirement to Allocation
- Clarify communication needs.
- Develop a technical concept.
- Prepare frequency requirements and locations.
- Submit application and documentation.
- Program and test devices after allocation.
Common Errors
Frequencies are resolved only after device purchase, repeater locations are not defined, or antenna parameters are missing. This delays projects and can lead to erroneous device choices.
