two area-wide licences, each licensee must comply with this condition.

8 Responsibility to manage interference
        The licensee of an area-wide licence must manage interference between:
 (a) radiocommunications devices operated under the licence; and
 (b) radiocommunications devices operated under any other licence held by the licensee, or operated by the licensee under a class licence.

9 Harmful interference
The licensee of an area-wide licence must ensure that the operation of a low risk transmitter does not cause harmful interference to a radiocommunications device operated under a spectrum licence or an apparatus licence held by any other person.

10 Co-existence with space receive stations
        Compliance with ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19)
        (1) The licensee of an area-wide licence must operate a radiocommunications device under the licence in accordance with the provisions detailed in resolves 2.1 and 2.2 of ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19), where the operation of the device is in the frequency range 24.7 GHz–27.5 GHz.

        Note 1: ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19) is available free of charge from the website of the International Telecommunication Union: www.itu.int.

        Note 2: In resolves 2.2 of ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19), the phrase 'the direction of maximum radiation of any antenna', in relation to separation from the geostationary-satellite orbit, is taken to mean the maximum radiation from an antenna when the antenna is being electronically steered.

        (2) Subclause (1) does not apply in relation to a radiocommunications transmitter that is an earth station.
        Operation in the 24.7 GHz to 27 GHz frequency range
        (3) The licensee of an area-wide licence must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter if:
 (a) the transmitter is connected to an antenna that has its highest gain directed above the horizontal plane when the antenna is not being electrically steered; or
 (b) the transmitter directs its antenna beam via electrical steering to an elevation angle above the horizontal plane; or
 (c) the transmitter operates with a radiated maximum true mean power, measured over the specified bandwidth and in the direction of the geostationary orbit, exceeding the limits set out in Table 1, where el is the angle above the horizontal plane at which the radiated maximum true mean power limit in Table 1 applies.
        (4) Subclause (3) only applies in relation to a radiocommunications transmitter that is:
 (a) not an indoor transmitter;
 (b) not an earth station;
 (c) operating within the frequency range 24.7 GHz–27 GHz; and
 (d) operating with a total radiated power greater than 40 dBm/200 MHz.
