Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
| 1. |
What is Spectrum Planning
and Development?
An important aspect of proper Spectrum Management is Spectrum Planning and Development.
The activities under Spectrum Planning and Development are as follows:
- establishing regulations that govern the
use of frequency by network facilities;
- assigning and allocating frequency bands
in accordance with international regulations;
- developing Spectrum Marketing Plans;
- participating in international forums
and conference;
- exchanging opinions and negotiating with
other international organisations on frequency management; and implementing decisions
adopted from these meetings.

What is Spectrum Authorisation?
Spectrum Authorisation involves the follows :
- authorising the use of specific frequency
bands
- establishing, installing network facilities
such as Radiocommunication and transmission equipment
- assigning call signs and MMSI numbers
- granting appropriate assignment to ship
and aircraft stations
- updating information related to frequencies,
location of network facility, transmitting powers, call signs and notification to
the Radiocommunication Bureau (ITU)
- participating in the development plans
and projects of all Radiocommunication services

What is Spectrum Monitoring
and Inspection?
Spectrum Monitoring and Inspection exercises are frequently conducted to ensure that
frequencies are properly used. Monitoring and Inspection exercises include:
- systematic inspection of network facility
to ensure compliance with set technical standards and parameters
- measuring of technical parameters or the
emission of network facility
- laying out of guidelines and procedures
for radiation protection

What does Spectrum Engineering
involve?
The basic function of Spectrum Engineering is as follows:
- managing technical analysis for assignment
i.e. spectrum assignment, apparatus assignment, class assignment and exemption.
- managing the national spectrum database
records of certified radio apparatus, users, frequency plans, coordination data,
technical EMC parameters for the purpose of spectrum planning, marketing, assignments
and monitoring.
- analysing and reporting on spectrum usage
for other activities i.e. spectrum planning, monitoring and assignment compliance.
- developing standard radio system plan
(SRSP) using current engineering and international practices of radio system planning.
- developing radio standard specification
(RSS) for the minimum performance standards of radio equipment.
- providing support on radio spectrum engineering
matters.

What is Spectrum Plan?
Where can I acquire a copy?
The Spectrum Plan is a vital document which contains radio frequency allocation for
various wireless services in our country and accompanying notes on constraints when
using the frequencies. The Spectrum Plan is used:
- As a fundamental document to manage the
allocation and assignment of our national band
- As a reference for the ITU approved allocation
- As a reference to the availability of
services using the frequency and the conditions to use them
The latest document can be found here.
