[AusNOG] Eureka Tower 24ghz

[Paul Wallace]

Actually it's not quite correct to say that "you can't complain about interference".

There's a couple of things in this ...

All systems MUST comply with the Class License conditions. Therefore, if you're operating a class licensed system in say 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 24GHz, that is adhering to the primary limitation of TX power & frequencies and another device operating on the same freq is operating in breach of the class license terms then the ACMA has the power to address the problem. IN those circumstances they would not be addressing the interference per se but rather the breach of the class license requirements.

Beyond that, you may well have grounds to take your own legal action to have the offending device & it's operator restrained from continuing to cause harm to your business & possibly also to seek compensation for the harm caused.

Here's a thoughtie ...

A License does not protect you AGAINST interference, it provides the protection AFTER you get interfered with!

Since we're nitpicking, the class license you're thinking of is only one of the licenses allowing operation on 24GHz..  The class license
(http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2011C00543) allows 100mW EIRP between
24000 and 24250MHz, as a secondary service only (must not cause interference, can't complain about interference).

The primary license for that band (Amateur License) allows 120W out the back of the transmitter, plus whatever antenna gain you manage to throw in there ;)

  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
