Introduction
Spectrum Management involves providing
a responsive and flexible approach to meet the need of spectrum users, making adequate
provision of spectrum for public and community services, maximising the overall public
benefit derived from use of the spectrum by ensuring its efficient allocation, encouraging
the use of efficient wireless technologies and practises to enable operation of a
wide ranges of services with an adequate quality of service, supporting the CMA policy
objectives of the Government and providing Malaysian views in the development of
international agreements in Radiocommunications.
Scope of Activities
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission's scope of activities in accordance
with ITU's recommendations that Administrations set up a "National Spectrum
Management Administration", to carry out the following key activities, involve:
| 1. | Planning, coordinating, regulating and administering the use of the spectrum within the country; |
| 2. | Establishing regulations, technical parameters and standards governing the use of each frequency band or specific frequency by stations of different services, having regards to current international regulations and agreement; |
| 3. | Optimizing the use of spectrum, space and geo-stationary satellite orbit, ensuring the harmonious operation of different services, which use them; |
| 4. | Allocating frequency bands in accordance with international regulations and the national priorities and assigning specific frequencies as appropriate; |
| 5. | Authorising the installation and operation of radio stations, assigning call signs, MMSI numbers for ships and life boats, and granting appropriate frequency assignment; |
| 6. | Updating all information on authorised wireless systems such as frequencies, the locations, transmitting powers, call signs, etc, and their notification to the Radiocommunication Bureau (ITU) if necessary; |
| 7. | Representing, establishing relations, coordinating and issuing technical opinions concerning the use of frequencies in international forum such as the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), which is held every two years; |
| 8. | Measuring the technical parameters or emissions of wireless stations as appropriate; |
| 9. | Conducting systematic inspections of Radiocommunication stations to check that they must meet the technical standards and parameters for which their equipment and operations were authorised; |
| 10. | Participating, insofar as the use of frequencies is concerned, in the development plans and projects of all wireless services, ensuring that those plans are in acceptance with current international and national regulations; |
| 11. | Preparing for participating in international conference convened by the ITU, participating in such conferences and implementing any decisions adopted; |
| 12. | Conducting negotiations in connection with frequency spectrum management, space and satellite orbit location, and other related problems with other countries and international organisations; |
| 13. | Facilitating national industry technical forums to carry out works relating to the Study Groups and Working Groups of ITU-R (Radiocommunications), preparing for the participation of specialist at meetings of the ITU-R and participating therein; |
| 14. | Constituting the national body for relations with international and regional organisations other than the ITU on technical, regulatory and administrative matters, technical cooperation and other subjects related to utilisation of frequency spectrum, space and the geo-stationary satellite orbit. |
