Coordinated
'Coordinated' means that the licence schedule will specify the exact frequency, the location and the dates of use. Coordinating the frequency ensures the best opportunity to avoid an interaction between your assignments and other radio users, including television services and others operating wireless microphones.It could, for example, be a short term assignment for a few hours use at an outside broadcast or similar short term event; an assignment for several days or weeks at a theatre for a touring show; or an annual assignment for on-going, regular use at a fixed site. Please note, annual assignments are only available to the owner / permanent occupier of the site.
470 - 854 MHz
These frequencies are shared with TV broadcasting on the understanding that there is no impact on households' TV reception. In certain parts of the country a range of frequencies may be used without a problem, whilst in other parts of the country those same frequencies will be unavailable to protect households' TV reception nearby. They may also be completely unusable due to interference from the same TV transmissions.A limited number of VHF frequencies can similarly be assigned on a coordinated basis.
Channels 31 - 37 (505 - 606 MHz)
Channels 31 - 37 are currently being reviewed by Ofcom. PMSE Access will continue until at least 1st April 2013. JFMG will continue to issue 12-month licences but with a condition for allowing for revocation with a minimum of 6 months notice.
Channel 69 (854 - 862 MHz)
Historically, coordinated frequency assignments have been available in Channel 69 and were chosen to be compatible with the 14 Channel 69 shared frequencies and other coordinated users. Channel 69 is not recommended for new assignments as it will not be available after 2012. In-band spectrum is recommended for future coordinated frequencies as they will not be available in Channel 38 with a UK Wireless Microphone Licence.
