  1. In the band 5150 to 5250 MHz, the maximum permitted power density is 10 dBm/MHz (10 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p. or equivalently –36 dBW/25 kHz (0.25 mW/25 kHz) e.i.r.p.

  2. Indoor-Only Systems: In the band 5250 to 5350 MHz, the maximum permitted mean power is –7 dBW (200 mW) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted mean power density is –20 dBW/MHz (10 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented. If Transmitter Power Control is not used, then the e.i.r.p. values must be reduced by 3 dB;

Indoor and Outdoor Systems: In the band 5250 to 5350 MHz, the maximum permitted mean power is 0 dBW (1 W) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted mean power density is –13 dBW/MHz (50 mW/MHz), provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented in conjunction with the following vertical radiation angle mask where θ is the angle above the local horizontal plane (of the Earth):

Maximum permitted mean power density Elevation angle above horizontal
–13 dB(W/MHz) for 0° ≤θ <8°
–13 – 0.716(θ – 8) dB(W/MHz) for 8° ≤θ <40°
–35.9 – 1.22(θ – 40) dB(W/MHz) for 40° ≤θ ≤45°
–42 dB(W/MHz) for 45° <θ;
  1. In the band 5470 to 5725 MHz, the maximum permitted transmitter power is –6 dBW (250 mW) with a maximum permitted mean power of 0 dBW (1 W) e.i.r.p. and a maximum permitted mean power density of –13 dBW/MHz (50 mW/MHz), provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented. If Transmitter Power Control is not in use, then the maximum permitted mean power shall be reduced by 3 dB.

  2. In the band 57 to 64 GHz, the average power density of any emission, measured during the transmit interval, shall not exceed –40 dBW/cm² (9 μW/cm²) at a distance of 3 metres and the peak power density of any emission shall not exceed –37 dBW/cm² (18 μW/cm²) at a distance of 3 metres. In the band 57 to 64 GHz, the peak total transmitter power shall not exceed –3 dBW (500 mW). In the band 57 to 64 GHz, for emissions of bandwidths less than 100 MHz, the transmitter peak power must be limited to –3 dBW (500 mW) x (bandwidth (MHz) / 100 (MHz)).

  3. In the bands 3.64 to 4.04 MHz and 10.44 to 10.76 MHz, the maximum permitted field strength is –40 dBμA/m measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at 10 metres.

  4. In the band 3.18 to 3.38 MHz, the maximum permitted field strength is –20 dBμA/m measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at a distance of 10 metres.

  5. Indoor-Only Systems: In the band 57000 to 66000 MHz, the power spectral density must not exceed 13 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. and spurious emissions outside the band must be less than –30 dBm/MHz.

  6. Transmissions from devices operating in the band 921 to 928 MHz must not exceed the following unwanted emission limits: –79 dBW (–49 dBm) from 800 to 915 MHz, then varying from –79 dBW (–49 dBm) at 915 MHz to –66 dBW (–36 dBm) at 921 MHz in accordance with the formula y = mx + C, where: y = dBm, x = MHz, m = dy/dx, C = the value of y where x = 0 (the y intercept). The maximum value of –63 dBW (–33 dBm) applies from 928 MHz to 1 GHz. The reference bandwidth for emissions is 100 kHz. Outside the band 800 MHz to 1 GHz, the limits prescribed in applicable standards prescribed in the Radiocommunications (Radio Standards) Notice 2010 apply. In the absence of applicable standards, the limits prescribed in Table 2 of the notice apply.

  7. General conditions applying to all transmissions under this licence—

  8. The frequency ranges, peak power of transmissions within those frequency ranges, and designated uses of frequencies are those prescribed in this licence. All transmissions in a given frequency range must comply with any special conditions relating to that frequency range.

  9. Transmitters, and persons supplying or using transmitters, must comply with the requirements of Regulations 32 to 37 of the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001.

  10. Frequency use is on a shared basis and the chief executive does not accept liability under any circumstances for any loss or damage of any kind occasioned by the unavailability of frequencies or interference to reception.

  11. Should interference occur to services licensed pursuant to a radio licence or a spectrum licence, the chief executive reserves the right to require and ensure that any transmission or any emission pursuant to this General User Radio Licence change frequency, reduce power, or cease operation.

  12. Transmissions that are broadcasting, as defined in the Broadcasting Act 1989, are not permitted.

  13. Consequential revocation of licences—

(1) The Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices) Notice No. 2 2010, dated the 26th day of July 2010 and published in the New Zealand Gazette, 29 July 2010, No. 92, page 2436, is revoked.

(2) Notwithstanding the revocation of the notice under subsection (1), every transmitter capable of making transmissions compliant with the requirements of that notice on the commencement date of this notice is deemed to be compliant with the requirements of this notice.

Dated at Wellington this 4th day of April 2011.
