Licensing Requirements
To operate a radio frequency (RF) system in a given country, the user must first obtain
permission from the regulatory agency that controls radio operations in that country.
Most countries require type and safety approval, as well as licensing for RF transmit-
ters.
TransCore data and literature are available to assist with approval and licensing activ-
ities.
U.S. Licensing
MPI 6000 systems users in the U.S. must obtain a license from the Federal Communi-
cations Commission (FCC). The authorized frequency bands in the U.S. are 902 to
904 MHz and 909.75 to 921.75 MHz.
The user is responsible for filing the FCC license according to FCC regulations, but
the TransCore dealer should provide assistance and support as necessary to complete
these forms.
An FCC license provides the user with the legal authorization to operate the MPI 6000
systems on the licensed frequencies at the site specified in the license. Only an autho
-
rized installer or service technician can set the frequency for MPI 6000 to that speci-
fied in the FCC site license.
The FCC license also provides the user with protection and authorization to maintain
the system should any other RF identification product be used in the licensed area
after the MPI 6000 equipment is installed.
