Australia allowed outdoor use of Radio Local Area Network transmitters in 5150-5250MHz.
Australian Authority Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) recently updated “Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence2015”, in which below changes are made:
1. Increasing the existing power limit, and allowing outdoor operation, for “Radio Local Area network transmitters” operating in the 5150–5250 MHz band
2. Including a definition of ‘indoors’
3. Implementing out-of-band emission limits for RLAN devices operating in the 5925-6425MHz band.

ACMA updated labelling requirements to include QR codes
Australian Authority ACMA repealed the below Labelling Notices and standards on February 25, 2023.
-Radiocommunications (Compliance Labelling –Electromagnetic Radiation) Notice 2014 (the EME Labelling Notice);
-Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation –Human Exposure) Standard 2014 (the Human Exposure Standard);
-Radiocommunications (Compliance Labelling –Devices) Notice 2014 (the Radiocommunications Labelling Notice);
-14 radiocommunications technical standards (old general standards)
Now the equipment supply regulation relating to EME, the content of 13 old general standards and the Radiocommunications Labelling Notice are now specified in the attached Radiocommunications Equipment (General) Rules 2021 with some amendments.
In addition to the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) symbol, a compliance label also can be a QR code, or similar thing, with a relevant link to information on a website that displays the RCM prominently.

New Zealand updated General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices (SRDs)
New Zealand Authority Radio Spectrum Management (RSM) recently updated the General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices (SRDs) with the below amendments:
1. For the use of WLAN in the 5150–5350MHz band, it is clarified that Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and of Transmit Power Control (TPC) are only to be applied to 5250 –5350 MHz as well as the power level where the e.i.r.pvertical radiation applies.
2. 5925 –6425MHz is additionally allowed for the use of WLAN in the Low Power Indoor and the Very Low Power applications.
3. The 57 –66GHz band is extended to the 57–71GHz band to support a range of technologies including Multi-Gigabit Wireless Systems (MGWS) and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) on a shared technology-neutral basis. The previous requirement for “Indoor-Only Systems” was removed and the permitted power was increased.
Please refer to Authority’s website for full the latest version of “General User Radio License for Short Range Devices”.
