Australia ACMA Updates Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence To Allocated WiFi 6E Frequency Band

On March 5th, 2022, The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has amended the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices, LIPD) Class Licence Variation 2022 (No.1) under section 132 of the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
The main update of this amendment includes the allocation of WiFi 6E frequency band as follows:
63AA- Radio Local Area Network transmitters for frequency band 5925-6425 MHz, Max EIRP 250mW
a) The transmitter must only be used indoors.
b) The power spectral density of the transmitter must not exceed 12.5mW EIRP per MHz.
c) Contention-based protocols for multiple access, such as Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) or Multiple Access Collision Avoidance (MACA), must be implemented.
63AB- Radio Local Area Network transmitters for frequency band 5925-6425 MHz, Max EIRP 25mW
a) The power spectral density of the transmitter must not exceed 1.25mW EIRP per MHz.
b) Contention-based protocols for multiple access, such as Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) or Multiple Access Collision Avoidance (MACA), must be implemented.
