Service Description

If you wish to use a trunked radio network, you must apply for frequencies from the Federal Network Agency.

The Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) is responsible for managing the frequency spectrum in Germany. This means that it regulates and coordinates the use of radio frequencies by various services, including satellite communication.

Trunked radio is used by companies and organizations for internal communication and data transmission within a defined area, for example on a company site. In Germany, every frequency use requires prior frequency allocation. You can apply to the BNetzA for frequency allocations for trunked radio networks. You can submit the application online or by post.

In the application, you must set out your utilization concept and provide information on the area in which you plan to use the frequency.

The BNetzA always allocates trunked radio frequencies on a site-specific basis with specific radio technology parameters, which results in the exact allocation area. To ensure efficient frequency use and prevent interference, frequencies are allocated individually in the trunked radio sector.

Frequency allocations in trunked radio are assigned to you for a maximum of 10 years. You can also apply for a shorter term.

In addition to setting up a new trunked radio network for your company or organization, you can also apply to the BNetzA for

  • an extension of the existing allocation period,
  • the waiver of an entire trunked radio network or of individual frequencies and locations and
  • an expansion of the network.

If you have any other concerns regarding trunked radio networks outside of these application types, you can also submit them to the BNetzA using the digital application form.
