WLAN use in 6GHz Band

RSM The New Zealand Radio Spectrum Management Authority now made the 5925 – 6425 MHz frequency band available for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) services under the Low Power Indoor (LPI) use and the Very Low Power (VLP) Indoor and Outdoor regimes through the Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio License for Short Range Devices) Notice 2022. 

RSM also extended the 57 – 66 GHz band to now cover the 57 – 71 GHz band. This is to support a range of technologies including Multi Gigabit Wireless Systems (MGWS) and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) on a shared technology neutral basis.

Summary of technical conditions for 6 GHz WLAN:

 

Permitted frequency band category Maximum Power (EIRP) Maximum Power Density (EIRP) Conditions
5925-6425 MHz Low Power Indoor (LPI) 24 dBm (250mW) 11dBm/MHz(12.6 mW/MHz) Indoor use only within a building or within an enclosed space having attenuation characteristics at least equivalent to those of a building
Very Low Power (VLP) 14 dBm (25.11mW) 1dBm/MHz(1.26 mW/MHz) No indoor restriction (i.e. Outdoor is permitted)

CITC Opens Public Consultation for Spectrum Use Regulation for Amateur Radio Services

The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) open public consultation for Spectrum use regulation for Amateur Radio Services. This document allocates and regulates the use of spectrum for amateur radio service.

The maximum allowable level of spurious emissions, relative to the transmitted power are :

*  Using frequencies ≤ 30 MHz should be 40 dB less than the average power in the necessary transmission bandwidth, provided that this power does not exceed 50 mW

* Using frequencies > 30 MHz should be 60 dB less than the average power in the necessary transmission bandwidth, provided that this power does not exceed 1 mW

There are two categories of Amateur Radio License. The category determines which frequency bands the Radio Amateur is Permitted to transmit on :

* Full License: Allows the Radio Amateur to transmit and receive on all the frequency bands allowed for the Amateur Service in the KSA

* Foundation License: Allows the Radio Amateur to only transmit on frequency bands above 30 MHz
