Business as usual on 2300-2302 MHz, for now
Date : 04 / 08 / 2015
Author : Roger Harrison - VK2ZRH
In the Amateur Licence Conditions Determination (LCD) 2015, released in early July,
the 2300-2302 MHz band is retained, listed as a secondary allocation, as it was before.

There has been no recent announcement from the ACMA about its 2013 proposal to
withdraw the 2300-2302 MHz amateur allocation so that 2300-2400 MHz could be
re-allocated for Spectrum Licensing.
However, the WIA considers that 2300-2302 MHz is still "under threat" and we'll
have to await the outcome, firstly, of any allocation decisions from WRC-15 that
may affect the 2300-2400 MHz band and, secondly, the government’s Spectrum Review
currently under way. If the band is affected, it will take the authorities some time
to update the Australian Radio Frequency Spectrum Plan and revise the allocation
for 2300-2400 MHz,
let alone licence it under the foreshadowed new spectrum management regime.
In the meantime, telecommunications operators overseas are pursuing new business
to achieve "everyone, everything connected, everywhere, all the time"
- dubbed heterogeneous networks, or Het Nets.
Naturally, the companies looking to create and deploy HetNets are targeting the
low microwave spectrum.
For example, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA),
the counterpart to our ACMA, has assigned spectrum in the 2300-2400 MHz
and 2500-2690 MHz bands for trials to evaluate the potential benefits to consumers
and enterprises.
For more information, Google "Spectrum in 2.3GHz and 2.5 GHz TDD bands assigned
for HetNet trials".
