Illustration for Radiocommunications Act 1989

When you get a spectrum licence, it must have some important information. You will see the name and address of the person who holds the licence. It will also say which frequency band they can use to transmit radio waves. You will find out the protection area, except in some cases like those under section 48(1)(b). It must state any limits on unwanted emissions from the radio transmitter. The licence will have a start and end date, which depends on the record of management rights. The licence will say if it can be transferred to someone else, and if it can be cancelled or modified. It will also list any conditions for using the licence, and any other important details. You might see that the licence is a general user spectrum licence for the purposes of section 55A.
