• Public Radio System – A public radio system is one where the beneficiary of the system might not be the licensee or anyone concerned with the business of the licensee. The licensee may receive a payment, consideration or other benefit, wither directly through a contractually managed fee or indirectly through standing charges levied at a point of sale of any equipment to be connected to the system or by any other means, in payment for the service of providing and maintaining the radio facility for use by third parties.

This may include use by third parties such as contractors where the work/radio use of that third party is on behalf of the licensee and does not include any traffic that is not connected with the business of the licensee. Communication should be solely concerned with the business of the licensee, who will receive no payment, consideration or other benefit from any third party in respect of the provision of radio communication facilities.
• Short Range Devices (SRD’s) - This covers a variety of radio devices providing either unidirectional or omni-directional communication (point to point or point to multipoint) and which, due to their low transmitter power, have a low risk of interference to other devices.
