Update to SCM0053 Operational Telecommunications Equipment, Infrastructure and Services Scheme (ITS2573)
Updated: 1 Aug 2023

Terminal testing compliance for any terminals to be used on the PSN.

As per Public Safety Network (PSN) Acceptable Use Policy, for any new radio terminals to be used on the PSN, you must:

  1. Check that your terminal is on the list of compliance-tested models. If it’s on the list, you may use it.

    Compliance testing ensures our customers purchase radio models that are fit for purpose and compatible with NSW’s Public Safety Network (PSN).

  2. If it’s not on the list of compliance-tested models, arrange for the terminal to be tested by contacting the Managed Network Provider (MNP) and don't use the terminal on the PSN until it has been approved.

The MNP can be contacted at helpdesk@psn.nsw.gov.au and 1800 679 476.
