Why You Need a Private Channel

Many businesses start with standard UHF CB radios (Citizen Band). While accessible, these public channels are crowded, unsecure and prone to interference from nearby construction sites, hobbyists, or convoys.

For professional operations - whether in security, transport, or facility management, sharing the airwaves is a liability.A visual comparison showing a tangled, chaotic orange web representing signal interference on Public UHF CB versus a clean, straight blue line with a lock icon representing a secure, interference-free Private ACMA Channel.

Radio Warehouse specialises in procuring Private ACMA Licensed Frequencies. This gives your business its own dedicated "lane" on the information highway, ensuring:

  • Privacy: Reduce the risk of eavesdropping.
  • Clarity: Eliminate chatter from unrelated users.
  • Reliability: Dedicated access without waiting for a channel to clear.


We Handle the Red Tape

Navigating the regulatory landscape of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) can be complex. Incorrect filing can lead to expensive delays or operational restrictions.

With a corporate heritage deeply rooted in the Australian Radio Communications Industry Association (ARCIA) , Radio Warehouse possesses deep regulatory knowledge. We act as your "safe pair of hands", managing the entire licensing lifecycle so you don't have to.

Our Licensing ServicesAn infographic outlining three pillars of radio frequency services: 1. Application and Assignment of frequencies, 2. Strategic Spectrum Planning, and 3. Ongoing License Management and Renewals for ACMA compliance.

1. New License Application & Assignment: We assess your location and operational radius to select the most appropriate frequency band (VHF vs UHF). We then handle the engineering application to the ACMA, ensuring your assigned frequency does not conflict with existing local networks.

2. Strategic Spectrum Planning: For larger enterprises and government agencies, we design spectrum plans that account for:

  • Repeater Output: Securing duplex pairs for wide-area coverage.
  • Interference Analysis: Ensuring compatibility with nearby critical infrastructure.
  • Digital Migration: Licensing for DMR/NXDN narrow-banding requirements.

3. License Management & Renewals: Radio licenses are assets that must be maintained. We track your renewal dates and manage the payment cycles, ensuring you never inadvertently operate illegally due to an administrative oversight.

Compliance is Non-Negotiable

Operating on a private frequency without a valid license, or using incorrect power settings, can result in significant federal penalties and equipment confiscation.

Our Solution Consultants ensure every radio we sell is pre-programmed strictly according to your ACMA license conditions. We bridge the gap between regulatory requirements and hardware configuration, ensuring you are 100% compliant from day one.

Operating on a private frequency without a valid license can result in significant federal penalties.

We frequently assist businesses that have been hit with interference warnings or breach notices because they skipped this step. Don't risk your operation.
