Apply for site-specific frequency usage parameter determination for digital railroad mobile radio

Service Description

If the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) has allocated you frequencies in digital railroad mobile radio and you want to put them into operation, you must first have the site-specific technical parameters determined. You apply to the BNetzA for the determination. The BNetzA checks whether you can use the frequencies efficiently and whether other uses at home and abroad are not disturbed. You can only put the radio stations into operation once the parameters have been set.

To apply for the parameters to be set, you need a frequency allocation. You can find details on the location-related technical parameters and application requirements in the allocation notice.
