Proposed updates to RALIs LM08, FX16 and FX22

In response to stakeholder requests, we have agreed to extend the consultation closing date from 17 November 2023 to 1 December 2023.

In November 2015, we released The ACMA’s long-term strategy for the 803–960 MHz band decision paper. This strategy:

• outlines a step by step re-configuration of the 803–960 MHz band
• ensures public benefit from the use of the band is maximised. 

We are now proposing changes to planning arrangements that support the final stage of the long-term strategy. 

The reconfiguration of the 803–960 MHz band resulted in apparatus-licensed services operating in frequency segments that have a smaller frequency offset from 700 MHz band spectrum-licensed services operating below 803 MHz. 

We are proposing to include additional criteria and guidance in RALIs LM08, FX16 and FX22 that will aid coordination between 800 MHz band apparatus-licensed services and 700 MHz band spectrum-licensed services. 

We welcome your comments on the proposed changes to RALIs LM08, FX16 and FX22.
