Dear <<First Name>>
Radio microphone users please read the following, copy and paste the text in the block below, sign it and email it to Radio Spectrum Management by Monday 5:00 p.m. on April 30th.
if you are a radio microphone user you should be concerned about any moves to sell off the 600 MHz band currently used by radio microphones in New Zealand .
Personalise it by all means.
Numbers count!
You'll be doing yourself and the industry a favour.
Thanks,

Response to “Preparing for 5G in New Zealand” discussion document
 
As a current user or supplier of radio mics and in-ear monitors that operate in the 600MHz band, I would be an affected party if this frequency band is reallocated for IMT/5G usage.
Radio mic users would lose 76MHz of nationally available spectrum from this 600MHz band. Currently there are no other spectrum bands that appear to offer this same amount of spectrum as a contiguous available block nationally throughout New Zealand.
I request that RSM carefully consider the following if they do adopt to reallocate the 600MHz band and require current radio mic and in-ear monitor users to re-acquire or modify existing hardware to alternative frequency bands.
  •        Provide monetary compensation to affected users who acquired or modified hardware in direct response to the 700MHz spectrum sell-off.
  •       Ensure that sufficient usable spectrum is preserved for radio mic and in-ear monitor usage at large scale events, such as concerts, festivals, theatre productions, red carpet movie premiers, and sporting events, including World Cups, World Championships and Commonwealth Games.
  •       Ensure that sufficient usable spectrum is preserved for radio mic and in-ear monitor usage at events where there are multiple users or suppliers, such as at domestic and international sporting events and international music festivals

Preparing for 5G in New Zealand – technical consultation

5G, the next generation cellular mobile technology, is expected to increase mobile connectivity and support new services and as yet unimagined innovations. It will be central to future economic growth, employment, education, transport and more. It is anticipated to facilitate transformative change for New Zealanders and New Zealand businesses.
Radio Spectrum Management has prepared a consultation document addressing the possible 5G spectrum bands and their future allocation. It also asks for feedback on any other barriers to the roll out of 5G in New Zealand.
Interested parties are invited to comment on the questions raised by the consultation document and other matters related 5G in New Zealand.
