Australia possible renewal of the Satellite Radio Navigation Service Class License

Published

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), under section 132 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992, has outlined the conditions and regulations governing the operation of radionavigation satellite services (RNSS) receivers in Australia.

This framework ensures compliance with relevant legislative instruments, including Commonwealth Acts and other regulations in force, as registered in the Federal Register of Legislation.

The RNSS receiver license authorizes the operation of receivers for the reception of RNSS radiocommunications, subject to specific conditions. However, certain exceptions apply, such as prohibiting the operation of RNSS receivers located on space objects or those covered under a separate receiver license.

Operation is strictly limited to designated frequency ranges: 1164 MHz to 1300 MHz and 1559 MHz to 1610 MHz, ensuring proper use and alignment with regulatory standards.
