ACMA has released a consultation paper proposing the remaking of the CCD class licence from 2014. The consultation authorises the use of a selection of frequency bands for devices, including cordless telephones used in residential and commercial settings, wireless microphones and headsets.
The main topics are listed below:
- Removal of the authorisation to use 857–861 MHz and 861–865 MHz bands from 1 July 2024 to implement parts of The ACMA’s long-term strategy for the 803-960 MHz band.
- Updating arrangements in the 1880–1900 MHz band to implement outcomes of replanning of the 1880–1920 MHz band.
- Remaking the CCD class licence ahead of its sunsetting date of 1 April 2025. This will ensure continuity of arrangements for cordless communications devices.
ACMA is also proposing to amend the Equipments Rules to ensure support for future digitally enhanced cordless telecommunications in the 1880–1900 MHz band.
The consultation paper, draft new class licence, draft amendment to the Equipment Rules and notice under subsection 136 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992 are available on ACMA’s website.Submissions on this consultation close on 13 May 2024.
