Licensed Two Way Radios UK | Ofcom Business Radios

Licensed radios are professional two way radios that run on dedicated Ofcom-coordinated frequencies, giving clearer audio, longer range and far less interference than licence-free kit. They are the standard choice once a team grows beyond a single floor or a handful of handsets.

Most businesses need a Simple UK or Simple Site Light licence (75 pounds for five years), which we arrange and programme before your radios ship. Browse by brand from Motorola, Hytera, Kenwood and Entel, or skip licensing with walkie talkies.

Licensed radio FAQs

Why choose licensed over licence-free?

You get dedicated Ofcom-coordinated frequencies, so cleaner audio, longer range and far less interference. It is the normal step once a team outgrows a single floor or a handful of handsets.

What does an Ofcom licence cost?

A Simple UK or Simple Site Light licence is £75 for five years. We arrange the application and programme the radios to it before they ship.

How long does licensing take?

Usually a few working days for a Simple licence. We handle the paperwork alongside your order so it does not hold up delivery.

What happens if I use licensed frequencies without a licence?

It is an offence under the Wireless Telegraphy Act, and it risks interfering with other users. It is also avoidable — the licence is inexpensive and we do the paperwork.
