(1) Area-wide licences may authorise the operation of radiocommunications transmitters, with associated radiocommunications receivers recorded in the Register, on frequencies adjacent to the 3.4 GHz band. These radiocommunications devices are typically used to provide wireless broadband services. (2) Arrangements for area-wide licences are described in RALI MS 47. These arrangements note that area-wide licences will generally not be issued in areas subject to spectrum licensing in the 15 MHz of spectrum directly adjacent to a 3.4 GHz band spectrum licence.

Note: RALI MS 47 is available, free of charge, from the ACMA’s website at www.acma.gov.au.

Note: For conditions that may apply to an area-wide licence, see the Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Area-Wide Licence) Determination 2020, which is available, free of charge, from the Federal Register of Legislation at www.legislation.gov.au.
