8 In-band interference
(1) In-band interference to an 1800 MHz receiver, caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an adjacent spectrum licence, is managed by the core conditions imposed on spectrum licences under section 66 of the Act, the device boundary criterion, and the additional device boundary criterion. (2) In-band interference to an 1800 MHz receiver, caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an apparatus licence that was first issued under section 100 of the Act on or after 18 June 2013, is managed as if the transmitter were operated under a spectrum licence. The device boundary criterion is to be applied to such radiocommunications transmitters, affording 1800 MHz receivers the same level of in-band protection from apparatus licensed radiocommunications transmitters as they are afforded from radiocommunications transmitters operated under adjacent area spectrum licences. (3) The ACMA does not intend to afford protection from in-band interference to an 1800 MHz receiver caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under an apparatus licence that was first issued under section 100 of the Act before 18 June 2013. (4) The ACMA does not intend to act in relation to in-band interference to an 1800 MHz receiver caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under a class licence where the operation complies with all relevant conditions of the class licence.
