RSGB assists IARU Region 3 safeguard 24GHz

The Radio Society of Great Britain, the Spectrum Forum and the UK Microwave Group are working with the Wireless Institute of Australia in an attempt to safeguard the 24GHz band.

Australian radio amateurs currently have primary access to this band but they could lose this as a result of plans to accommodate ultra wideband vehicle radar technology in the 22 to 26.5GHz band.

The RSGB and the UK Microwave Group have put a lot of effort into protecting amateur radio's primary status in parts of the 24GHz band over the past 18 months in IARU Region 1.

Now they are using the expertise and knowledge they gained during this process to help the Wireless Institute of Australia safeguard 24GHz in Region 3.
