== Regulatory Requirements
|
|
|
|
=== Spectrum License Required
|
|
|
|
|
|
GSM operates in licensed frequency spectrum. As a result you may not
|
|
operate a BTS without having obtained a license from the regulatory
|
|
authority in the country you want to operate the BTS in.
|
|
|
|
Failure to acquire a proper spectrum license or failure to comply with
|
|
the terms of the license can lead to interference with public
|
|
communications networks, which not only may cause civil claims by the
|
|
operator of the interfered network, but is punishable as a crime under
|
|
most jurisdictions.
|
|
|
|
sysmocom disclaims any responsibility for illegal / unlicensed use of
|
|
its products.
