10  Background
 (1) Both Article 5 of the ITU-R Radio Regulations and the spectrum plan provide allocations for the fixed satellite service (FSS) and inter-satellite service (ISS) in parts of the 26 GHz band on a co-primary basis with terrestrial radiocommunications services. The potential interference path is from 26 GHz band spectrum licensed devices into FSS and ISS space receive stations.
 (2) ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19) resolves that administrations shall apply a number of conditions on IMT base station deployments in the frequency range 24.25 GHz–27.5 GHz to protect space receive stations.
 (3) In Australia, FSS gateway uplinks operate at frequencies which overlap the 27 GHz–27.5 GHz frequency range and, at the time this instrument was made, are licensed at 10 locations across Australia.
 (4) Section 11 contains provisions to manage coexistence between radiocommunications transmitters operated under a 26 GHz band spectrum licence and space receive stations.
