Accredited participants planning to use wireless devices that require spectrum allocation during the forum must register their devices and submit a spectrum request via the WUF13 Spectrum Management Portal.

Upon arrival at the forum venue, participants are required to visit the Spectrum Test and Tagging Desk to complete the testing and tagging procedure for their registered and approved devices. Only devices that have successfully passed this process will be authorised for use within the forum premises.

Detailed technical information on wireless device usage, including step-by-step instructions on portal navigation is provided in the Technical Guide on the Registration and Use of Wireless Devices.

All wireless device registrations and spectrum allocation requests must be submitted by 30 April 2026. Requests submitted after this date may be subject to processing delays.
