Short Answer
For a BAKOM frequency allocation, it is typically relevant to specify the applicant, area of use, utilization, locations, frequency band, devices, antennas, transmission power, channel requirements, and technical operating mode. The exact details depend on the project. An experienced radio partner can prepare the planning and provide technical support for the application.
Those who wish to use operational radio professionally in Switzerland should prepare the frequency question early and thoroughly.
