On April 8, 2024, The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) announced a public consultation on the remaking of the 'Radiocommunications (Cordless Communications Devices) Class Licence 2014(the CCD class license)’.
The CCD class licence authorises the use of certain frequency bands for cordless communications devices. This includes cordless telephones used in residential and commercial settings. However, it can also include wireless microphones and headsets. This instrument is due to sunset on 1 April 2025.
ACMA has the following arrangements for the remaking of CCD licenses.
1. Remove the authorisation to use 857–861 MHz and 861–865 MHz bands from 1 July 2024.
2. Update arrangements in the 1880–1900 MHz band.
3. Remake the CCD class licence ahead of its sunsetting date of 1 April 2025 to ensure continuity of arrangements for cordless communications devices.
ACMA also proposed to amend the Radiocommunications Equipment (General) Rules 2021 to ensure support for future digitally enhanced cordless telecommunications in the 1880–1900 MHz band.
All parties concerned can submit comments and suggestions to ACMA before May 13, 2024.
