ACMA issues 2.3 GHz guidelines

ACMA (Australian Communication and Media Authority) published the Interference to Spectrum Licensed Receivers - 2.3 GHz Band - Radiocommunication Advisory Guidelines on 2013-12-12, superseding the Managing Interference to receivers 2.3 GHz Band Radiocommunication Advisory Guidelines and coming into effect on 2015-07-25.

The purpose of these guidelines is to:

• manage in-band and out-of-band interference by providing compatibility requirements for registered fixed receivers operating under spectrum licences issued for the 2.3 GHz band;

• provide protection to radiocommunications receivers operating under spectrum licences issued for the 2.3 GHz band from interference caused by radiocommunications transmitters operating under a class licence, and from fixed transmitters operating under either:

• an apparatus licence issued on or after the date on which these guidelines commence

• a spectrum licence where the transmitter is registered under Part 3.5 of the Act on or after the date on which these guidelines commence.
