ACCAN recently responded to the ACMA’s Proposed Telecommunications Mobile Equipment Air Interface Standard and consequential amendments to associated instrument consultation.

We supported the proposed update of the Standard as it will provide greater consumer protection and trust in 5G mobile equipment and services.

We also recommended that the ACMA and both handset manufacturers  and providers undertake broad consumer awareness initiatives to ensure that Australian consumers understand the new Air Interface Standard’s associated equipment labelling for mobile handsets and equipment capability with regard to access to Triple Zero (000).
