[AusNOG] Eureka Tower 24ghz

[Tom Berryman]

Thanks Ian,
The ACMA database only covers apparatus licenced point-to-point or other ACMA taxed frequencies- 24ghz is class licenced and limited aggressively to a low power output (like 2.4 and 5ghz) but is still capable of excellent throughput on short links and free from ACMA taxation and co-ordination. In cases where we co-locate on common frequencies I prefer to "self co-ordinate" with the other party to ensure no impedance to someone else's operations. That said, my experience with 24ghz says that its very unlikely we will see any interference under even close proximity operation.
(I would approve greatly of an ACMA run database to aid in "self co-ordinated" class licenced links!)
Cheers,
Tom.

Looking for a contact for whoever operates the 24ghz UBNT AirFibre on the top of the Eureka Tower. I am involved in a project presently and will be operating on the same spectrum and wish to ensure we do not interfere with your link. Please contact me off list.

Hi Tom,

The ACMA Radiocomms database might help http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/. I couldn't see anything on 24Ghz on the four sites returned searching for 'Eureka Tower', but the site might be called something else. Vertical Telecoms Pty Ltd has a lot of stuff up that end of the spectrum though.

Rgds,
