ARCIA - AM WORKSHOP
CYBER SECURITY & DIGITAL RADIO - PROTECTING MISSION-CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS
This three-hour workshop explores the cyber security challenges facing modern mission-critical radio and communications systems. Participants will examine risks associated with P25, DMR, TETRA, IP networks, Radio over IP, dispatch systems, remote access and third-party connectivity. The workshop will cover network segmentation, secure access, authentication, patching, vulnerability management, monitoring, resilience and incident response. Particular emphasis will be placed on balancing cyber security with the operational requirement for highly available communications. Practical examples and scenarios will demonstrate how radio engineering, ICT, operational technology and cyber security must work together to protect critical communications infrastructure and maintain service during cyber incidents.

ACCF/TCCA - AM WORKSHOP
ADVANCING CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITES AND RESILIENCE
Technology developments and user requirements in critical LMR and Broadband and the release of 3GPP standards are driving the evolution of critical communication innovations. For mission-critical users, these innovations need to come with resilience, interoperability and operational confidence.
The workshop will address these changes of the critical communication ecosystems globally and Australasia and has a look at the different drivers and adoption across different global markets. How to manage the complexity in the mission-critical system delivery with a look at the strengths/weaknesses and suitability of the different solutions.
Presenters from: Airbus, DAMM, Motorola, Simoco, Frequentis and ACCF
Networking Opportunity: If you are attending either or both of the TCCA/ACCF
workshop sessions a complimentary lunch will be provided between the sessions
courtesy of the ACCF – a great opportunity to network.

ARCIA - PM WORKSHOP
RADIO SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT - THE STATE OF PLAY
This extended session will gvie attendees an overview of the latest ACMA spectrum developments, licensing changes and emerging areas of interest for radio system planners and licence managers.
Topics include:
- 1.9 GHz — Rail Mobile Radio provisions
- Satellite — ground station and space licensing
- 1.8 / 2.1 GHz — Public Mobile Telecommunications Service (PTS/PMTS)
- 3.4 / 3.8 GHz — developments across remote, rural, regional and metropolitan areas
- Spectrum Licences — and device registration procedures
- ACMA regulatory update — and emerging regulatory arrangements
The workshop is aimed at anyone involved in the planning, licensing or management of radio systems in Australia, particularly those responsible for the radio licences supporting network operations.
