1              Title
This Plan is called the Radiocommunications Spectrum Conversion Plan (2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap) 2012.
2              Commencement
This Plan commences on the day after it is registered.
Note       All legislative instruments and compilations are registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments kept under the Legislative Instruments Act 2003. See http://www.frli.gov.au.
3              Purpose
This Plan sets out the procedures and timetable for converting existing apparatus licences authorising the use of radiocommunications devices in the 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap to spectrum licences.
4              Interpretation
(1)                In this Plan, unless the contrary intention appears:
2.5 GHz Band means the spectrum in the frequency ranges 2500-2570 MHz and 2620-2690 MHz.
2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap means the spectrum in the frequency range 2570-2620 MHz within the geographic areas specified under Item 1, Schedule 1, but does not include the geographic areas of exclusion listed under Item 2, Schedule 1. 
Acceptance Form means the form that will be approved by the ACMA under section 5 of this Plan. 
Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
Advisory Guidelines means the following documents made by the ACMA under section 262 of the Act, as in force, amended or replaced from time to time:
(a)          Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference from Transmitters — 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap) 2012; and
(b)         Radiocommunications Advisory Guidelines (Managing Interference to Receivers — 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap) 2012.
collection station means a station located at a fixed point used for the purpose of receiving television outside broadcast services.
draft licence means a draft of a spectrum licence prepared by the ACMA under section 53 of the Act to replace an existing apparatus licence.
EIRP, in relation to a radiocommunications device, means the Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power of the device.
existing apparatus licence means an existing apparatus licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices:
(a)          at frequencies within the 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap; and
(b)          within Australia.
Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) means the geodetic datum designated as The Geocentric Datum of Australia gazetted in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 6 September 1995.
geographic area, in relation to a spectrum licence, means the area within which operation of a radiocommunications device is authorised under the licence.
harmful interference means interference that:
(a)          endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or other safety services that are operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations; or
(b)          obstructs, repeatedly interrupts or seriously degrades a radiocommunication service that is operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations.
horizontally radiated power, for a radiocommunications device, means the sum of:
                                    (a)     the maximum true mean power, in dBm per specified rectangular bandwidth at the antenna connector that is located within the frequency band of the licence authorising the operation of the radiocommunications device; and
                                    (b)     the antenna gain relative to an isotropic antenna in a specified direction in the horizontal plane containing the phase centre of the antenna used with the device, in dBi.
ITU means the International Telecommunication Union.
licensee means the holder of an existing apparatus licence within the 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap.
maximum true mean power means the true mean power measured in the specified rectangular bandwidth that is located within a specified frequency band such that the true mean power is the maximum of true mean powers produced.
Note       The power within a specified rectangular bandwidth is normally established by taking measurements using either an adjacent channel power meter or a spectrum analyser. The accuracy of measuring equipment, measurement procedure and any corrections to measurements necessary to take account of practical filter shape factors would normally be in accordance with good engineering practice.
 
mean power means the average power measured during an interval of time that is at least 10 times the period of the lowest modulation frequency.
mobile transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter established for use while in motion or during halts at unspecified points on land or sea.
nomadic transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter whose location can change, but for use only while at stationary but unspecified points on land or sea.
Radio Regulations means the ‘Radio Regulations’ published by the ITU, as in force from time to time.
Note       Copies of the Radio Regulations can be obtained from the ITU: www.itu.int.
re-allocation means the re-allocation of spectrum by the issue of spectrum licences in accordance with a spectrum re-allocation declaration.
spectrum map grid means the Australian Spectrum Map Grid (ASMG) defined in the Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012  published by the ACMA, as in force from time to time.
Note       The Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012 is available on the ACMA website.
television outside broadcast device means a station that:
(a)     is operated under a spectrum licence in the frequency range 2570-2620 MHz; and

television outside broadcast service means a radiocommunications system that is provided by the operation of 1 or more television outside broadcast devices that are operated:
(a)     under a spectrum licence in the frequency range 2570-2620 MHz ; and
(b)     anywhere in Australia.
true mean power means:
(a)     if an unmodulated carrier is present — the mean power measured while the unmodulated carrier is present; and
(b)     if an unmodulated carrier is not present — the mean power measured while transmitted information is present.

Note       Section 65 of the Act provides that the maximum duration of a spectrum licence is 15 years.
21           Registration of licences
(1)                The ACMA will include details of spectrum licences on the Register.
Note       The Register is established under section 143 of the Act.
(2)                Each spectrum licence will include a condition that prohibits operation of a transmitter unless the requirements under Part 3.5 of the Act to have the transmitter registered have been met.
(3)                Each spectrum licence will include a condition that exempts radiocommunications transmitters of a particular kind from the requirement mentioned in subsection (2).
(4)                A transmitter that is part of a group of transmitters may be registered individually or as a group.
Note 1    Details about registration are in the Radiocommunications (Register of Radiocommunications Licences) Determination 1997.
Note 2    Under subsection 145 (1) of the Act, the ACMA may refuse to include in the Register details of a radiocommunications transmitter that is proposed to be operated under a spectrum licence if the ACMA is satisfied that operation of the transmitter could cause an unacceptable level of interference to the operation of other radiocommunications devices under that or any other licence.
Note 3    The Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference — 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap) Determination 2012 sets out the unacceptable levels of interference for devices operating under spectrum licences in the 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap for the
purposes of section 145 of the Act.  Accredited persons will consult that Determination when issuing certificates under subsection 145 (3) of the Act.
22           Re‑issue of licences
(1)                At the expiry of a spectrum licence, the ACMA may re‑issue licences, in accordance with Division 4 of Part 3.2 of the Act.
(2)                The ACMA may re-issue a licence to the person to whom it was previously issued if:
(a)          the licence was used in the provision of a service included in a class of services specified in a determination under subsection 82 (3) of the Act; or
(b)         the ACMA is satisfied that special circumstances exist as a result of which it is in the public interest for that person to continue to hold the licence.
(3)                Licenses that are not re-issued to the same licensee may be re-allocated by auction, tender, or pre‑determined or negotiated price.  In re‑allocating the licences, the ACMA will follow the procedures set out in the determinations made under section 60 of the Act that are in force at the time
(4)                The fact that a licence is not re-issued to the same licensee will not prevent the licensee from applying for the lot covered by that licence in a subsequent re-allocation process.
Note       Under subsection 82 (5) of the Act, the ACMA must notify the licensee in writing if the core conditions of the re-issued licence differ from the core conditions of the licence it replaces. 
23           Guidelines
Any guidelines made by the ACMA under section 262 of the Act about interference with radiocommunications may be taken into account in settling interference disputes under Part 4.3 of the Act.
24           Registration of collection stations
The ACMA will include details of the collection stations listed in Schedule 5 on the Register prior to the inclusion on the Register of any other devices under spectrum licences to be issued in the 2.5 GHz Band.
 
Schedule 1        Geographic area covered by spectrum licences resulting from conversion in the 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap

Licence Schedule 2         Core Conditions
 
Frequency band
 
1.         This licence authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the frequency bands set out at Part 2 of Licence Schedule 1.
 
Emission limits outside the frequency band
 
2.         Core conditions 3 to 13 apply in relation to those frequencies that are outside the frequency bands set out in Part 2 of Licence Schedule 1.
 
3.         Where a written agreement exists between:
(a)   the licensee; and
(b)   all the affected licensees of frequency-adjacent and area-adjacent spectrum licences; 
specifying the maximum permitted level of radio emission for frequencies described in core condition 2, the licensee must comply with that specified maximum permitted level of radio emission.
 
4.         Where there is no written agreement for the purposes of core condition 3 in force, core conditions 5 to 13 apply.
 
Non spurious emission limits
5.         The licensee must ensure that radiocommunications devices operated under the licence do not exceed the non spurious emission limits in core conditions 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
 
6.         Non-spurious emission limits – Low power registration exempt transmitters
(1)     For radio emission that is:
(a)      not spurious emission; and
(b)     caused by a radiocommunications transmitter:
(i)             operating in the band 2570 MHz to 2620 MHz under a spectrum licence issued in the 2.5 GHz Mid-band Gap; and
(ii)           with a radiated true mean power less than 13 dBm/30kHz,
the maximum emission limits outside the frequency band of the licence but within the band 2500 MHz to 2690 MHz are specified in Table 2.
(2)   In Table 2:
foffset           is the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits set out in Part 2 of Licence Schedule 1.
