Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Area-Wide Licence) Determination 2020.

      12.2 Protection requirements

        The device boundary criterion, as defined in the subsection 145(4) Determination, is the primary mechanism for managing interference across geographical boundaries from a spectrum licence to an area-wide licence. Geographically adjacent area-wide licensees and spectrum licensees are able to agree on the implementation of alternative measures to manage interference.

             Part 13 Aeronautical services

      13.1 Background

        (1) The Spectrum Plan allocates the 4200–4400 MHz frequency band to the aeronautical mobile service and aeronautical radionavigation service, as primary services.

        (2) The operation of aircraft stations as radio altimeters in the 4200–4400 MHz frequency band is authorised under the Radiocommunications (Aircraft and Aeronautical Mobile Stations) Class Licence 2016.

        (3) In this Part, aeronautical mobile service and aircraft station have the corresponding meanings given by:
           (a) the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2015; or
           (b) if a later instrument replaces that determination and defines the terms – the later instrument.

        (4) In this Part, aeronautical radionavigation service has the meaning given by the Spectrum Plan.

      13.2 Protection requirements

        (1) For spectrum licences, a licensee must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter in the 3700–3800 MHz frequency band if the operation of the transmitter would be inconsistent with any requirement for an area-wide licence in RALI MS 47 in relation to coexistence with radio altimeters.

        (2) For the purposes of this section, a reference in RALI MS 47 to:
           (a) a non-exempt AWL tx transmitter is taken to be a reference to a radiocommunications transmitter operated, or proposed to be operated, under a spectrum licence in the 3700–3800 MHz frequency band;
           (b) an AWL tx is taken to be a reference to a 3.4 GHz band spectrum licence;
           (c) clause 4 of Schedule 4 to the AWL LCD is taken to be a reference to this section.
