3.3 Question 3

Do you have suggestions for any other alternatives for regulating UWB communication devices in New Zealand?

All submitters are in agreement that the European framework is the most appropriate framework. Some submitters have provided the following suggestions:

• Kordia proposed applying additional regulatory details as necessary, taking into account the specific situation of existing services in New Zealand. It suggests considering the application of additional operational constraints within the GUL conditions for the protection of existing services. In this regard, the Ministry considers that the operational restrictions imposed by the European post 2010 framework provide a reasonable protection margin. The proposed GUL can be reviewed and adjusted in collaboration with industry to account for additional operational constraints should this become necessary in future.
