The fee payable for broadcasting stations and fixed satellite earth stations is
commensurate with the power and the occupied bandwidth, and calculated on
the basis of these parameters using the following formula:-
Fees per transmitter or carrier in Kenya shillings is :
= K1 log 10 P nom (watts) + K2 log 10 (P tot – 1000) x
25 watts
25 watts
BW(kHz)
8.5 kHz
x 574.10
Where,
a) K1 = 1 for the first 1 kW of radiated carrier power
b) K2 = 0.2 for additional power above 1 kW.
c) 25 watts is the maximum power allowable for VHF base stations.
d) 8.5 kHz is maximum allowable RF bandwidth for VHF base stations.
e) Pnom is the nominal transmitter power.
f) Ptot is the effective isotropically radiated power
g) Bandwidth is the width, of frequency band that is just sufficient to ensure
the transmission of information at a rate and with the quality acceptable
under specific conditions’

Terrestrial Links (Fixed station Licence)
A licence to establish a radiocommunication station at a fixed location for
carrying on a Fixed Radiocommunication Service to provide a public service.
This category of license is drawn for radio stations used to interconnect two
specified fixed points.
The fee payable for this licence is based on the occupied bandwidth, and
is calculated using the following formula:The fee, F (KShs.) per transmitter per location is:
