"Rules for Minimum Power Levels When Using Radio Frequencies"

Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

When radio frequencies are registered under the Radiocommunications Act 1989, you need to know about power floors. The power floor for each frequency is the one specified on the application to register the frequency, unless section 34B or section 34C applies. If no power floor is specified, it is –50dBW. You can find more information about this in the Radiocommunications Act 1989. The power floor is an important part of registering radio frequencies. It helps manage how radio frequencies are used in New Zealand.
