7 Co-sited radiocommunications devices
If:
(a) interference occurs between:
(i) a radiocommunications device (the first device) operated under an area-wide licence (the first licence); and
(ii) a radiocommunication device (the other device) operated under a spectrum licence or another apparatus licence (the other licence);
when the measured separation between the phase centre of the antenna used with each device is less than 200 metres; and
(b) that interference is not the result of operation of a radiocommunications device in a manner that does not comply with the conditions of the relevant licence; and
(c) either the licensee of the first licence or the licensee of the other licence wishes to resolve the interference;
the licensee of the first licence must manage the interference with:
(e) the licensee of the other licence; or
(f) if a site manager is responsible for managing interference at the location of the other device – that site manager.
Note: This condition applies equally to all area-wide licences which authorise the operation of radiocommunications devices in any part of the frequency range 24.7 GHz–30 GHz. For example, if interference occurs between two radiocommunications devices operated under two area-wide licences, each licensee must comply with this condition.
