Requirements for Installation of Temporary Telecommunications Customer Cabling for Defence Purposes(DR S035:2008)

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD CLOSES AT 5.00 P.M. ON MONDAY 14 JULY 2008

DR AS/ACIF S035:2008 proposes requirements for the installation of temporary cabling used for exercise, training or operational deployment for the Department of Defence (DoD), or overseas defence forces exercising with Australian DoD personnel. It provides a mechanism to allow the rapid deployment of temporary cabling while ensuring the safety of carrier network, staff and any contracted non-military personnel who may come in contact with temporary customer cabling. It is proposed that this Standard will replace ACA TS 035-1997.

Requirements for connection to an air interface of a Telecommunications Network—Part 1: General (DR AS/ACIF S042.1:2007)

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD CLOSES AT 5.00 P.M. ON FRIDAY 1 FEBRUARY 2008

DR AS/ACIF S042.1 proposes expanding the scope to include customer equipment for use in connection with a satellite service. Satellite services are to include the MobileSat® terminals as specified in ACA TS 022-1997 MobileSat Terminal Compatibility Requirements for System Access Standard and now other customer equipment for use in connection with a satellite service which is not currently regulated under the ACMA Telecommunications Labelling Notice. It is proposed that this Standard will replace ACA TS 022-1997.

Voice frequency performance requirements for Customer Equipment (DR AS/ACIF S004:2007)

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD CLOSES AT 5.00 P.M. ON FRIDAY 1 FEBRUARY 2008

DR AS/ACIF S004 proposes revised electro-acoustic transmission and reception requirements for customer equipment that use codecs. Recognition is provided for ITU‑T Rec G.711 as the default codec which provides a basis for good quality end-to-end voice performance. In addition, the revised requirements will now allow equipment suppliers the choice when selecting codecs for use in their products.

Requirements for Customer Equipment for connection to a metallic local loop interface of a Telecommunications Network - Part 3: DC, low frequency AC and voiceband (DR AS/ACIF S043.3:2007)

DR AS/ACIF S043.3 proposes the inclusion of the voiceband Equipment Classes from AS/ACIF S043.2:2005.

Analogue interworking and non-interference requirements for Customer Equipment for connection to the PSTN (DR AS/ACIF S002:2007)

DR AS/ACIF S002 proposes changes to align with the proposed introduction of VDSL2 technology (e.g. extending the frequency mask from 12MHz to 30MHz).

Customer Access Equipment for connection to a Telecommunications Network (DR AS/ACIF S003:2007)

DR AS/ACIF S003 proposes changes to align with the proposed introduction of VDSL2 technology (e.g. extending the frequency mask from 12MHz to 30MHz).

Requirements for Customer Equipment, operating in the voiceband, for connection to the non-switched Telecommunications Network (DR AS/ACIF S006:2007)

DR AS/ACIF S006 proposes changes to align with the proposed introduction of VDSL2 technology (e.g. extending the frequency mask from 12MHz to 30MHz).
