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:
- updating and clarifying arrangements for wireless microphones and other transmitters operating in the broadcasting services bands on a shared basis with digital television broadcasting services;
- inserting new arrangements authorising the operation of short range low power devices using ultra wide-band technology.
Comments
Under section 136 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992, the ACMA is seeking representations about the proposed variation to the LIPD Class Licence.
Copies of the existing class licence, the proposed variation and the discussion paper explaining the changes in more detail are available on the ACMA’s website and may be obtained from the ACMA’s Canberra Office by contacting:
