12 Minimum coverage criterion – transmitter not located at the nominal location

If a transmitter, other than a transmitter operated to provide a datacasting service is not located at the nominal location specified in the LAP or DRCP that relates to the transmitter licence that authorises operation of the transmitter, the licensee must provide a service to those urban centres in the licence area or designated BSA radio area that relates to the service and that would have received the service from a transmitter operating from the nominal location at the minimum CMF or ERP permitted by guideline 11.

Note: No minimum coverage criterion requirements are applicable to datacasting services. However, protection of a datacasting service against interference from other services will generally only be provided on the basis that the datacasting service provides a median field strength equal to, or greater than, the planned minimum field strength.
