Licensing & Services

Licensing

ComReg has developed a number of on-line services and databases to assist Wireless Telegraphy Licensees in managing their licences and licence applications.  These services are listed below.

If you require information on Radiocommunications Licensing, including applications for new Licenses (Aircraft, Business Radio, Point to Point Radio Links, etc) 

Please visit our LICENSING SECTION UNDER RADIO SPECTRUM.

eLicensing

The eLicensing website is a secure website, www.elicensing.comreg.ie that allows Licensees to make on-line payments and manage their existing licences, e.g. change their account details.

Radio Link Services

High / Low Database

To minimise the interference between Point-to-Point Radio Links >1GHz, ComReg maintains a High/Low database.
This database shows the designation of each point-to-point link site registered with ComReg as either a High Frequency or Low Frequency designation.

Prior to submitting an application to ComReg, applicants should consult the high / low database to ensure that the sites in their application do not have a high/low designation conflict, as ComReg will not licence a link with a high/low designation conflict.

Equipment Reference Codes

Before submitting an application to ComReg for a Point-to-Point Radio Link Licence >1 GHz, the specifications of the antenna, radio transmitter and feeders must be registered on ComReg’s Equipment Reference Code database.

This database contains information on:

• Antenna Reference Codes
• Radio Transmitter Reference Codes
• Feeder Reference Codes

See http://www.comreg.ie/radio_spectrum/search.541.874.10014.0.rslicensing.html  on how to apply for a Radio Link licence. 

Premium Rate Services

Premium Rate Services are goods and services that can be purchased by charging the cost of the service to a customer’s landline or mobile phone bill.

Under the Communications Regulation (Premium Rate Services and Electronic Communications Infrastructure) Act 2010, ComReg has taken over the regulation of Premium Rate Services. The provisions under the Act also expand the scope of Premium Rate Services as were regulated by the former RegTel scheme. The Act obliges PRS providers to be licensed if they are involved in the provision of specified Premium Rate Services.

The Communications Regulation (Licensing of Premium Rate Services) Regulations, 2010 contain the conditions to be attached to a licence. It should be noted that section 12 of the Act states that it is an offence to provide specified Premium Rate Services without a licence and ComReg would urge all parties involved in the provision of specified Premium Rate Services to ensure that they are licensed in accordance with their obligations in the Act.
