FRN
- FCC Registration Number. A unique 10-digit identifier assigned to every entity that does business with the FCC, including satellite operators, earth station licensees, and spectrum holders.
- The FRN links all of an entity's filings, licenses, and fee obligations in the FCC's CORES (Commission Registration System) database. Operators must obtain an FRN before submitting any application through IBFS or ECFS.
