Cordless Telephones GURL

With this licence you can own and operate radio transmitting equipment and telecommunications using Ct1, Ct2 and DECT technologies.

About this General User Radio Licence (GURL)

The licence you operate under is a General User Radio Licence (GURL). This means that you share the spectrum with other people who are using the same frequency and power at the same time as you. If someone else operating within the parameters of the licence causes interference to your service, you have to accept that interference.

We'll give you assigned frequencies that you can use without the need to get a licence in your own name or pay licence fees.

Note: The use of PHS technologies expired on 29 February 2020.
