2.1 How to use the table

The New Zealand Table of Allocations has been designed to be used in both electronic and printed formats.

The table is divided into 5 columns, and generally is to be read from left to right. The first two columns are reproduced from Article 5 of the International Radio Regulations. ITU footnotes, relevant to ITU Region 3, to which New Zealand belongs, are annexed at the end of this document.

The first column indicates the frequency range that entries in the other columns relate to.

The second column shows the International Radio Regulations Region 3 radio service allocations, with reference to associated footnotes that are included in section 2.4 of this document.

The third column of the table shows the specific New Zealand allocation(s) adopted from the ITU Region 3 allocations.

The fourth column summarises the service usage in New Zealand and may include more specific information related to the allocation.

The fifth column lists any relevant references, standards, licensing arrangements or policies that pertain to use of the associated band in New Zealand. The Ministry publishes, amongst other documents; specifications pertaining to the minimum performance characteristics of radio equipment (RFS), public information brochures (PIBs) pertaining to the use of equipment and/or frequency bands, and operational policy documents (POLDOCs).

These reference documents are available on this website.

Table entries with a shaded background indicate bands managed (either by the Crown or private band managers) under the Management Rights Regime.
