14  Background
 (1) Some cordless communications devices, the operation of which is authorised by the Cordless Devices Class Licence, operate in the 1880 MHz to 1900 MHz frequency band. This band is adjacent to the 1800 MHz upper band used by 1800 MHz spectrum licences. Devices which may operate in the 1880 MHz to 1900 MHz frequency band generally must comply with the Cordless Devices Equipment Rules.
 (2) CEPT Report 41, ECC Report 96 and ECC Report 146 show that no guard band is required for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) technologies operating below and directly adjacent to the 1880 MHz to 1900 MHz frequency band (below the 1880 MHz frequency boundary) to coexist with digitally enhanced cordless telecommunications services operating in the 1880 MHz to 1900 MHz frequency band. This is due to the ability of digitally enhanced cordless telecommunications services to dynamically select channels located further away from the 1800 MHz frequency boundary in order to avoid interference.
