Spectrum regimes and access.

Technologies

• Exclusive licensed spectrum Auctioned or assigned spectrum licences with defined areas, terms and conditions, used for public mobile networks.
• Tiered shared access (CBRS-type) Spectrum shared between incumbents, priority licensees and general users under a spectrum access system.
• Local and light licensing Low-cost, area-limited licences that let enterprises, communities and Indigenous and rural operators run their own networks.
• Licence-exempt bands 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz and other bands used by Wi-Fi, short-range devices and IoT under equipment rules.
• TV white space and database-controlled access Opportunistic use of unused broadcast channels for rural broadband and long-range links.
• Spectrum for fixed links Licensed point-to-point bands and channel plans for microwave and E-band backhaul.
• Spectrum for satellite services FSS, MSS and EESS allocations and the filings that protect satellite use.
• Spectrum for science and passive sensing Bands protected for radio astronomy and passive Earth sensing that networks must avoid polluting.
• Spectrum leasing and subordination Secondary-market arrangements that let a licensee make spectrum available to another user locally.
