Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Vehicular Radar Short Range Devices) Notice 2005

Pursuant to Regulation 9 of the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001 (“the Regulations”) made under section 116 (1) (b) of the Radiocommunications Act 1989, and acting under delegated authority from the chief executive,
I give the following notice.
N o t i c e
1. Short title and commencement—(1) This notice is the Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Vehicular Radar Short Range Devices) Notice 2005.
(2) This notice comes into force on 1 November 2005.
2. General user radio licence—A general user radio licence is granted for the transmission of radio waves,
by means of vehicular radar short range device radiocommunication transmitters, for the purposes of
road vehicle collision mitigation and traffic safety applications, in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this notice.
3. Terms, conditions and restrictions—(1) Except as otherwise provided in this notice, the frequencies and other emission characteristics are those prescribed in the Schedule to this notice.
(2) Transmitters must conform to technical standards as prescribed in notices made under Regulation 32 (1) (b) of the Regulations.
(3) Frequency use is on a shared basis and the chief executive does not accept liability under any circumstances for any loss or damage of any kind occasioned by the unavailability of frequencies, or interference to reception.
(4) The chief executive reserves the right to require and ensure that any transmissions pursuant to this general user radio licence change frequency, reduce power, or cease operation, where reasonable evidence is provided to the chief executive of harmful interference being caused to licensed services.
(5) Transmitters must not be permanently installed at a fixed location.
(6) This licence expires on 1 July 2013.
