GUIDELINE FOR APPARATUS ASSIGNMENT MCMC (20 MAY 2009)

There are three types of assignment under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA) viz., Spectrum Assignment, Apparatus Assignment and Class Assignment. The Minister may however exempt a person from requiring an assignment via an Exemption Order as provided under s157 of the CMA. Assignments must be consistent with the Spectrum Plan. This Plan divides the spectrum in Malaysia into a number of frequency bands and specifies the purpose for which the bands may be used. This process is referred to as the allocation of frequency bands to radio communication services.
