(5) Application of the device boundary criteria manages in-band interference, and these criteria incorporate emission limits that provide reasonable protection inside the geographic area of a licence. Emission limits are also used to manage out-of-band interference, but these do not provide protection along the frequency boundaries of a spectrum licence throughout the entire geographic area. Because of the nature of out-of-band interference, emission limits cannot be used to provide protection from out-of-band interference for devices that are located near each other, for example, at multi-operator sites.
 (6) Subject to subsection (7), spectrum licensees must accept any in-band interference to radiocommunications receivers caused by radiocommunications transmitters operating under an apparatus licence issued before the commencement of the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (26 GHz Band) 2020.

 (7) Subsection (6) does not apply to area-wide apparatus licences, except when in-band interference is caused by an earth station that was previously operated under an apparatus licence other than an area-wide apparatus licence.
 (8) A radiocommunications receiver operated under a spectrum licence in the 26 GHz band is not afforded protection from interference by a device operated under the Radiocommunications (Body Scanning – Aviation Security) Class Licence 2018.
