Land Mobile Radio Service (LMRS) - FCC Title 47 Part 90; Private land mobile radio systems are used by companies, local governments, and other organizations for communication. Many businesses and industries throughout the world use it as their primary means of communication, especially from a fixed location to mobile units. These licensed systems often share frequencies with other private users in the United States.
Private Land Mobile Radio Service licensees in the 150-174 MHz and 421-512 MHz bands have been mandated by the FCC to move to narrowband only use before January 1, 2013. The narrow band requirement is at 12.5 kHz maximum.
LMRS can be described as the following two components:
- The Land mobile radio system
- The Land mobile service
LMRS is often referred to as the "business band." It was established in 1927 to permit commercial and public safety uses of two-way radio by commercial entities and non-Federal government agencies. The available frequencies in the US have traditionally been separated into two pools. One is for industrial and business users which we call LMRS, including some special categories such as petroleum, manufacturing and forestry and the other is for public safety including medical, police, fire and others.

Frequency charts
Although the term "business band" refers to several discrete frequencies that are not grouped into a single band, examples of some of the frequencies are grouped by band and listed below. These charts also list other frequencies not specifically part of the "business band" but commonly used by businesses. An individual license is still required under GMRS rules. A few manufacturers added these DOT frequencies to Business radios in the 1990s to have more "channels" and aid in selling radios.

An itinerant frequency is normally used for mobile commercial activity, such as construction work or event planning. This comes in contrast to a license issued for a fixed location.
