Technical frameworks for spectrum licences

Technical frameworks help us manage spectrum licences. There is a technical framework for each frequency band. 

Technical frameworks

Each frequency band under a spectrum licence has a technical framework.

These frameworks include:

  • the main licence conditions
  • the level of interference that is unacceptable when you register a device
  • advisory guidelines

We develop technical frameworks with industry working groups. This generally happens before we give new spectrum licences. 

We may change the framework if all licence holders in the band agree.
