      (3) In subsection (2):

      lower limit for a licence means, in relation to the geographic area specified in an area-wide receive licence that authorises the operation of an earth receive station, the lowest frequency specified in the licence for the operation of radiocommunications receivers in that geographic area.

      upper limit for a licence means, in relation to the geographic area specified in an area-wide receive licence that authorises the operation of an earth receive station, the highest frequency specified in the licence for the operation of radiocommunications receivers in that geographic area.

      (4) When assessing interference caused by receiver overload:

           * Propagation loss between a radiocommunications transmitter and an earth receive station for a fixed-satellite service should be calculated using Recommendation ITU-R P.452, with p = 20%.

             Note 1 The parameter  p is defined in Recommendation ITU-R P.452 as the required time percentage for which the calculated basic transmission is not exceeded.

             Note 2 Recommendation ITU-R P.452 is available, free of charge, from the website of the International Telecommunication Union at www.itu.int.

           * In the event actual antenna radiation patterns are not available for an earth receive station in a fixed-satellite service, the antenna radiation pattern defined in ITU-R Recommendation S.465 can be assumed.

             Note 1 Recommendation ITU-R S.465 is available, free of charge, from the website of the International Telecommunication Union at www.itu.int.

           * For coordination occurring before 16 July 2027, the first time a spectrum licensee performs adjacent channel coordination with an earth receive station operating in the 3750 to 4000 MHz band, and before the spectrum licensee registers their relevant radiocommunications device, the spectrum licensee must notify the affected area-wide receive licensee. This is to ensure the area-wide receive licensee has the opportunity to install a radiofrequency filter with the relevant characteristics from Table 3 to the front end of their earth receive station.

         Part 5 Broadband wireless access (BWA) service

5.1 Background
  Broadband wireless access (BWA) services are authorised to operate in the 3400-3700 MHz band under apparatus licence arrangements. Frequency assignment arrangements for BWA are defined in RALI MS 47.
5.2 Protection requirements

      (1)          Radiocommunications transmitters operated under a spectrum licence in the 3.4 GHz band must comply with the requirements specified in RALI MS 47 relating to the levels of interference protection to be afforded to point-to-multipoint receivers, if the receiver:

          (a)          is licensed under the Act; and

          (b)          was registered in the Register prior to the date on which the device operated
