Class Licence

• sets out conditions under which any person is
  permitted to operate
• is not issued to an individual user
• does not involve payment of licence fees
• authorise users of designated segments of
  spectrum to operate on a shared basis

LIPD

• Low Interference Potential Device
• Authorises operation of a wide range of low power
  radiocommunication devices in various segments of
  the spectrum
• Transmitters do not require individual frequency
  coordination for interference management

Proposed 60 GHz LIPD Class License

• Band 59.4 62.9 GHz
• Maximum EIRP limited to 150W
• Peak transmitter power limited to 10mW
• Limited to terrestrial situations
