Pursuant to section 111 of the Radiocommunications Act 1989 and Regulation 9 of the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001, 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 2011.
(2) This notice comes into force on 17 November 2011.
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) Should interference occur to services licensed pursuant to a radio licence or a spectrum licence, the chief executive reserves the right to require and ensure that any transmission or any emission pursuant to this General User Radio Licence change frequency, reduce power, or cease operation.
(5) Transmitters must not be permanently installed at a fixed location.
(6) This licence expires on 1 July 2013.
(7) Consequential revocation of licences:
(a) The Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Vehicular Radar Short Range Devices) Notice 2005, dated the 10th day of October 2005 and published in the New Zealand Gazette, 13 October 2005, No. 175, page 4401, is revoked.
(b) Notwithstanding the revocation of the notice under subsection (a), every transmitter capable of making transmissions compliant with the requirements of that notice on the commencement date of this notice is deemed to be compliant with the requirements of this notice.
