Article 7
Applicants who intend to apply for installation and frequency assignment of microwave radio station (hereinafter referred as “the applicants”) with “Frequency Application Form" (detailed in Attachment 1) shall apply to the competent authority for permission with documents as follows:
1. Application form for installation of microwave radio station of Type I Telecommunication business (detailed in Attachment 2);
2. A photocopy of letter of permission on frequency assignment;
3. Information table of microwave frequency interference analysis and coordination (detailed Attachment 3); and
4. Affidavit.
If the assigned frequency in last paragraph has not been used for application for permission of installation of microwave radio station for over six months since the frequency assignment date according to the regulation in last paragraph, the competent authority may cancel such frequency assignment.
If the applicants apply for installation of microwave station using the frequency stipulated in subparagraph 4, paragraph 1 of Article 12, the application is exempted from frequency assignment.
The applicants in last paragraph shall apply to the competent authority for permission of installation of microwave station attaching the documents in subparagraph 1, 3 and 4, paragraph 1.
The validity term of the installation permission for stations is one year. If the applicants fail to accomplish the installation of the stations within the validity term, it shall apply for extension to the competent authority with reasons within one month after the date which is two months prior to the expiration date. The extended period for installation shall not exceed six month and the extension shall be once only.
During the period of installation, except the short-term test granted from the competent authority according to the regulation or the on-site technical inspection and examination conducted by the competent authority, the stations shall not transmit any microwave. The period of short-term test shall not exceed five days.
If the installation of stations is involved with the construction safety, fire protection safety and usage right of the installation site or other issue, the applicants shall handle the issues according to the regulations in the Building Act, the Fire Service Act, or other relevant laws and regulations.
If the applicants fail to comply with the promised issues in the affidavit or make false promise in the affidavit, the competent authority may revoke the installation permissions, if there is any variation or change in the promised issues, the applicants shall make another affidavit.
