The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has announced the remaking of the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2025, which will come into effect on 1 October 2025.

This class licence allows the operation of low-power devices without the need for individual licences, making market access easier for emerging technologies.

Key Updates

The updated licence includes provisions for:

• Audio wireless transmitters using Wireless Multichannel Audio Systems (WMAS) in the 520–694 MHz band.

• Frequency-hopping radiocommunications transmitters in the 5925–6425 MHz band.

• Digital modulation radiocommunications transmitters in the 5150–5250 MHz band.

• RLAN radiocommunications transmitters in the 6425–6585 MHz band.

• Radiodetermination transmitters in the 13.4–14 GHz band.

• Radiodetermination transmitters in the 76–77 GHz band.

Next Steps

The new licence will take effect on 1 October 2025. Manufacturers and importers of devices operating in the specified frequency bands must ensure that their products comply with the updated licence requirements to operate legally in Australia.
