ACMA & Spectrum

ACMA Licensing for Systems Integrators

For the integrators who design, buy, install and commission radio systems, and the clients who review their work. Which licence lets each radio transmit, where you stand when you operate under a client’s licence, what a licence costs and which design decisions move it, which bands are closed to you before you order radios, staying inside the 2025 class licence, the licence and EME conditions you commission against, the equipment rules for what you buy and import, and when you need an accredited person. Built on the 2025 instruments, with a fee builder, a class licence checker and a rooftop site walk.

Cabling & Transmission

AS/CA S009 Telecommunications Cabling Wiring Rules

The installation requirements of AS/CA S009:2020 for the engineers, designers and installers who deliver telecommunications cabling, and the clients who review it. How the Wiring Rules get their legal force under the Cabling Provider Rules 2025, who may do the work, how to tell a requirement from a recommendation, and the separation, earthing, remote powering and installation rules that decide whether a job passes, with hands-on exercises throughout.

AS/CA S008 Customer Cabling Product Compliance

How cables, cords, connectors, enclosures, conduit and pits must comply before they are supplied and installed, under AS/CA S008:2020 incorporating Amendment No.1/2025 and the 2025 Labelling Notice. Recognise a valid compliance label in each of its three forms, work out which clauses apply to a product, check a delivery before it goes into the building, and avoid the specification mistakes that put non-compliant product on site, with hands-on exercises throughout.

AS/NZS 3000 Electrical Wiring Rules for Engineers

For engineers who design low voltage installations in Australia, and the clients who review their work, with examples from radio sites, comms rooms and data rooms. How AS/NZS 3000:2018 and its amendments become law in each state, when a Part 1 design is open to you, and the design decisions the Wiring Rules turn on: the supply and fault level, maximum demand, overcurrent protection, cable sizing and voltage drop, earthing and the MEN, automatic disconnection, RCD types, switchboards, generators, solar and batteries, and verification. Built from free regulator and network sources, with a circuit checker, a disconnection explorer, an RCD selector and a radio hut walk-through.

RF Cable & Transmission Line Design

For the integrators, engineers and technicians who choose, install, test and fault-find the feeders, jumpers and connectors between radios and antennas at Australian radio sites, and the serial and Ethernet lines beside them. Impedance, velocity and reflections, what a return loss sweep really proves, reading a cable datasheet, choosing a cable, power handling, connectors and PIM, what the feeder does to EIRP, the licence, EME and the receiver, stubs and duplexer cables, earthing and surge arrestors, RS-485, Ethernet and the cabling rules, installation, line sweeps and distance to fault, and fault finding, worked end to end on a real UHF repeater site. With a cable loss calculator, a mismatch view, a receive-noise calculator, a distance-to-fault sweep, a fault finder and a site walk.

EME & Safety

RF EME Exposure & ARPANSA Compliance

For the integrators, engineers and technicians who design, install, assess and work around radio transmitters in Australia, and the site managers who read their EME reports. What RF fields do and how the ARPANSA limits were set, who the limits bind, RPS S-1 table by table, the public, workers and Controlled Areas, far-field and near-field calculation, summing sources and averaging over time, exclusion zones and signs, measurement, power-downs and the controls for people near live antennas, the licence conditions and records, EME reports, broadcast, radar and 5G, and investigating alarms and complaints, worked end to end on a shared office rooftop.
