Are any devices exempt from the requirement to obtain a Radio Frequency Authorization (RFA)?
Yes, the following devices do not require a RFA: • Communications services provided by commercial vendors such as cell phones • Test equipment such as signal generators that will not be connected to an antenna • Wireless devices that use infrared light instead of radio frequencies • FCC licensed devices for personal use such as amateur radio, CB, GMRS, and FRS. • “Cordless” telephones and wireless mice/keyboards • Nonlicensed devices with a valid FCC Part 15 ID; however, there are restrictions associated with the operation of this equipment.
