Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This text explains how radio interference is managed between two types of spectrum licences operating in the 27 GHz and 28 GHz frequency bands. Key points:

Equal treatment: Both licence types operate under the same core conditions for managing interference.
Cross-band management: Transmitters operating under a 28 GHz licence must manage interference with 27 GHz receivers (and vice versa) in the same way they would manage interference within their own band.
Protection for satellites: The 27 GHz licences have extra conditions to protect satellite receivers, but these don't change how the two licence types relate to each other.
Legal mechanism: Interference is managed through licence 'core conditions' (standard rules attached to licences) and 'section 145 determinations' (technical specifications for registering transmitters).

Relationship between the 27 GHz and 28 G

Relationship between the 27 GHz and 28 GHz Spectrum Licences

2.2 Spectrum licences in the 27 GHz band and 28 GHz band are subject to the same core conditions and other conditions in relation to the management of interference. For registration of transmitters both licences are covered by similar s.145 determinations. The 27 GHz spectrum licences have some additional licence conditions to protect satellite receivers that may operate in the 27 GHz band. These do not affect the relationship between spectrum licensees.

2.3 This means that interference from transmitters operated under 28 GHz spectrum licences to receivers operated in spectrum covered by a 27 GHz spectrum licence should be managed in the same way as interference from transmitters operated under other spectrum licences in the 27 GHz band.

2.4 Similarly it also means that interference from transmitters operated under 27 GHz spectrum licences to receivers operated in spectrum covered by a 28 GHz spectrum licence should be managed in the same way as interference from transmitters operated under other spectrum licences in the 28 GHz band.

2.5 This interference is managed through the licence core conditions and the s.145 determinations.
