Elevating Standards Through Public Engagement: Radiocommunications Network Facilities

On 3 September 2025, the Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTSFB) hosted a Public Engagement Session at the Auditorium, MCMC Centre of Excellence (COE). The session provided an important platform for industry stakeholders, regulators, and the public to engage in discussions on the development of draft Technical Codes (TCs) for radiocommunications network facilities.
