Radio Equipment that conforms to technical standards in Europe and operated in the spectrum in Table 2 requires a
temporary general use authorization from Paris 2024 in order to be used in/around the venues, in order to avoid the risk of
potential interference.
These equipment operate without protection from interference and are not allowed to create interference to individually

team such as presenters, interviewers, reporters, camera operators, sound operators, lighting operators and engineers.
Talk-back system in the PMSE-UHF band is allowed under restricted output power. Pre-set frequencies cannot be accepted as well.
The frequency bands identified for Private Mobile Radio (PMR) (see section 2.1) are to be considered for frequency assignment for the purpose

a link between an outside broadcasting site and a studio), used for carrying broadcast quality video/audio signals. These bands are not
available for wireless camera and mobile airborne link. Link terminals are mounted on tripods, temporary platforms, purpose-built vehicles
or hydraulic hoists. Two-way links are often required. The equipment supporting these links is transportable and the Tx/Rx coordinates are
not known beforehand.
A frequency assignment delivered for a transportable point-to-point links defines the geographical area where transmitters and receivers

3.1.2 SPECTRUM APPLICATION SCHEDULE
PARIS 2024
There are three stages in the frequency application schedule for the Games:
→ It is strongly recommended that users complete the frequency application as early as possible in
the Normal Application.
→ Frequency resource is limited for some services, thus the probability to obtain the desired frequency
is lower during Late Application.
→ Extraordinary Application is only used for emergency applications for important frequency
demands required for the Games, without perturbing the normal progress of all deployed equipment.
Most of the frequencies will already have been allocated at this stage. Therefore, it is not recommended
to submit an application during this period.
