Under section 8A of the Short Range Devices Standard, if the proposed updates to the LIPD Class Licence are made, the standard for performance for items being updated in the LIPD Class Licence will be those standards listed in the updated LIPD Class Licence for that item. A transition period of one year from when the LIPD Class Licence is made applies before it is mandatory for a supplier to comply with the standards requirement.
In detail, the proposed updates to the LIPD Class Licence consider:
updating and expending existing 60 GHz arrangements (57–66 GHz) for data communication systems, including 5G. Specifically:
adding the 66–71 GHz frequency band
updating existing arrangements in the 57–66 GHz band regarding indoor and outdoor data communications systems.
adding new arrangements for ‘all transmitters’ in the 57–64 GHz band
revising arrangements for underground transmitters in certain bands supporting fixed and mobile services from 70–520 MHz
adding support for higher power radiodetermination transmitters, i.e. radars operating in the 76–77 GHz frequency band
adding support for ground and wall penetration radar as adjunct to current apparatus licence arrangements (30–12,400 MHz)
aligning existing arrangements for ultra-wideband devices with US and European arrangements for generic (indoor and hand-held) devices (3,100–3,400 MHz and 8,500–9,000 MHz) and aircraft applications (6,000–8,500 MHz).
In addition to the proposed variation, the ACMA invites suggestions from industry and individuals on devices and technologies for possible future updates to be included on the list of transmitters authorised under the LIPD Class.
The submissions received during the consultation periods are available on the ACMA website.
Following consultation, the ACMA has remade the standard that mandates a two-part industry standard for radiocommunications devices operating in the very high frequency (VHF) maritime mobile bands. The Radiocommunications (VHF Radiotelephone equipment - Maritime Mobile Service) Standard 2018 adopts three new industry standards and their European Telecommunications Standards Institute equivalents.
The ACMA received one submission to this consultation, which can be accessed on our website.
Australia Consults the Public About Telco Standards and Labelling
Australia's ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) is conducting a public consultation on its standards of telecommunication devices and labelling thereof.
Background information and draft versions of the proposed
In September 2014, the AMCA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) published the Radiocommunication Devices (Compliance Labelling) Notice 2014, superseding the Notice 2003. The 2014 Notice does not make any significant changes but was mainly created to replace the 2003 Notice, due to expire on 2015-04-01 (sunset date) in accordance with Part 6 of the Legislative Instrument Act 2003.
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.
New ACMA spectrum plan possibly drastically reduces smartphone costs world wide.
The ACMA (Australian Communication and Media Authority) published a new spectrum plan for the 700 MHz frequency band on 2012-11-19. The Plan has the potential to drastically reduce the costs of smartphones around the World. The “Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) 700 MHz spectrum band plan“ is committed or seriously considered to be adopted by several countries such as Australia, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, India, Japan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Tonga and the United Arab Emirates.
