9  Background
 (1) After 1 July 2024, the ACMA's policy is for trunked land-mobile services to operate in a paired band where base station radiocommunications receivers use the 806 MHz to 809 MHz frequency band, and mobile station radiocommunications receivers use the 851 MHz to 854 MHz frequency band. This places land-mobile receivers in these two bands in spectrum lower-adjacent to the 850 MHz band after the commencement of spectrum licences in the 850/900 MHz band.
 (2) Protection of trunked land-mobile radiocommunications receivers from spectrum licensed radiocommunications transmitters is on a first-in-time basis. The ACMA intends that any existing apparatus licensed receiver, licensed prior to the registration of a spectrum licensed transmitter in the Register, will receive protection in accordance with this instrument.
Note: The Register is established under section 143 of the Act and is available, free of charge, on the ACMA's website: www.acma.gov.au.
