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 that
transmission of information at a rate and with the quality acceptable under specific
conditions’

Terrestrial Links (Fixed station Licence)
A licence to establish a radio communication 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:
F(Kshs) =
RF Bandwith (kHz )
8.5 kHz

Number of
RF channels
Where, unit fee =574.10, as Kshs. 574.10 is the unit spectrum
fee for a 8.5khz band.
