Carnets
Carnets are a means of paying in advance for your frequency assignments.
When using a Carnet you must still apply for each assignment, just as for pay-as-you-go assignments, but you do not need to arrange for payment each time.
One Carnet Token covers the use of one frequency assignment for 48hrs.
You can only use a Carnet Token for one assignment.
Choice of frequencies
A Carnet does not specify a particular frequency, but a whole frequency band: For example, a Carnet Token in the 2GHz to 3.5GHz band can be used to pay for an assignment of any 2GHz or 3.5GHz frequency.
It does not guarantee access to any particular frequency. Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis to all customers.
If you require more frequencies than you have Carnet Tokens, extra frequencies can be paid for as needed - by credit card, for example. Remember, there is a minimum charge for pay-as-you-go assignments. Alternatively another Carnet can be purchased.
Cancellations
If you cancel an assignment made with a Carnet Token the Carnet Token is not 'refunded'.
Duration
A Carnet lasts until all Carnet Tokens have been used, you may carry your remaining Carnet Tokens onto a new annual licence.
Fee
The cost of a Carnet depends on the frequency band. A 60 token Carnet gives a 7.5%
saving on usual 48hr fee and a 480 token Carnet gives a 25% saving on usual 48hr
fee.
