Ofcom has published a guide with key advice for people who plan to operate radio equipment at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

The reliability of wireless devices, from walkie-talkies used by event organisers to TV cameras broadcasting to a global audience, will be pivotal to the successful delivery of the Games, when the demand on the radio spectrum will be unprecedented.

Ofcom is responsible for protecting and managing the airwaves that are used for wireless communications. So, we have published a guide for people who require a license to use these devices at locations within or around Games venues.

Given the high demand for spectrum and limited availability of radio resources in these locations, we are encouraging early applications for licenses.
