3.5GHz frequency interfering with Measat-2
The Government may have no choice but to withdraw the licences of wireless broadband service providers that are using the 3.5GHz frequency.
The use of the frequency, to provide fast Internet access to businesses, has been found to interfere with transmissions between the Measat-2 communications satellite and its earth station.
Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik blamed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which had given out the 3.5GHz spectrum licences.
?Now it (the frequency) is interfering with Measat-2. As a minister, I?m questioning the spectrum allocation,? he said after opening the iBurst International Forum here yesterday.
Dr Lim said he was considering pulling back the licences.
