NOTIFICATION OF PROPOSED VARIATION OF RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS (LOW INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL DEVICES) CLASS LICENCE 2000
Notice is given that the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) proposes to vary the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2000 under section 134 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992 (the Act).
Proposed changes
The Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2000 (the LIPD Class Licence) contains the licence conditions, operating requirements and technical parameters associated with the operation of a wide range of low power radiocommunications devices operating in various segments of the radiofrequency spectrum.
The ACMA is proposing to vary the LIPD Class Licence by:
- amending the frequency band of operation of wireless audio transmitters from 520 – 820 MHz to 520 – 694 MHz from 31 December 2014;
- inserting an additional condition authorising the operation of digital modulated wireless audio transmitters in the frequency range 520 – 694 MHz; and
- inserting an additional condition authorising the operation of wireless audio transmitters in the frequency range 1790 – 1800 MHz, provided the device complies with specified standards.
Comments
Under section 136 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992, the ACMA is seeking representations about the proposed variation to the LIPD Class Licence.
