Q&As: 3.8 GHz band metropolitan, regional and rural area-wide licence (AWL) allocation process

Below are responses to questions received about the 3.8 GHz band AWL allocation process. This follows the release of the applicant information pack (AIP) in February 2024. 

Responses to questions will be posted here, without attribution. We may modify the wording to assist with clarity.

Can named persons and/or their associates apply for an AWL while the nil limit, as described in the Radiocommunications (Area-Wide Licences – Limits, Authorisations and Transfers) Determination 2024, is in effect?

We consider all applications on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the Radiocommunications Act 1992 and other laws.

If a named person or associate makes an application, and we consider the application before 1 October 2024, we must refuse to issue the licence, under the Radiocommunications (Area-Wide Licences – Limits, Authorisations and Transfers) Determination 2024.
