Safeguarding Australia's spectrum

One ecosystem,
built to safeguard the spectrum

noIM₃ brings the engineering, the spectrum and the licensing into one place: 94 professional tools, a live view of every apparatus licence in Australia, and frequency assignments lodged under our own ACMA accreditation. Every project that runs through it helps keep Australia's spectrum clean for the ones that follow.

noIM3 ACMA Spectrum Tool

ACMA accredited

Accredited to assign frequencies, not just calculate them

Anyone can publish a calculator. Far fewer can complete the frequency assignment and lodge the apparatus licence application that follows. Our accreditation is general, so it is not limited to a particular service, band or licence type, and every assignment is coordinated and lodged by an ACMA accredited person.

Fixed links

Point-to-Point Service

Fixed links coordinated end to end. We assign the frequency, check it against the surrounding licences and lodge the application.

Land mobile · area

Point-to-Area Service

Land mobile and area coverage assignments, coordinated against the live register so the assignment holds up once the system is on air.

Licensee setup

Licensee Registration

New licensees registered with the ACMA, so the licence can be issued in the right name from the start.

Site register

Site Registration

Transmitter sites registered against the national site register, ready for the licences that will sit on them.

Coordinated against the live national register, then lodged with the ACMA under our accreditation. These are assignments, not advisory reports.

Reimagining the Australian Spectrum

The ACMA register, the way it should have always worked

Spending hours digging through the ACMA portal, rebuilding spreadsheets for every project, or waiting on answers about available spectrum is still the norm. That is exactly why the ACMA Spectrum Tool exists. It gives you a live, searchable view of every apparatus licence in Australia, so you can run coordination checks, build frequency plans, and understand your spectrum environment in one place.

ACMA Spectrum Tool feature

Live ACMA Register, mapped

Every apparatus licence in Australia visualised on an interactive map. Filter by band, site, licensee, or geographic area in seconds.

Algorithmic frequency planning

Advanced algorithms calculate predictions for every single site, factoring in forecasted network growth and the full ACMA allocation plan across all bands.

Continuous compliance recalculation

The moment any selection fails a compliance check the entire frequency plan automatically recalculates. No gaps, no manual overrides, no missed conflicts.

Optimised for the future, not just today

Every viable frequency plan is ranked against current and projected conditions. Your selections are compliant today and built to withstand network growth.

Proven in the field

On operational mine sites, MC² Engineered uses noIM₃ to validate underground frequency plans for intermodulation interference, and to generate the frequency plans that run production underground radio environments.

Everything under one roof

We know this stuff is hard. That is exactly why we built all of it

Spectrum engineering sits at the intersection of complex regulation, technical demand and fast-moving network growth. Most engineers are expected to navigate all of it with tools that weren't built for the job. noIM₃ changes that. Whether you need to run a coordination check, understand the regulatory framework, design a compliant system or build the skills to do it with confidence, it is all here.

Workflows · Deliverables

The Project Platform

Design through guided workflows that turn engineering into the client-ready deliverables a project actually ships, with project managers, technicians and clients connected around one source of truth. The engineering side is live today, with the connected roles rolling out from there.

Why Is Ethernet Limited to 100 Metres? Channel, Permanent Link and the 90 Plus 10 Rule

Why Is Ethernet Limited to 100 Metres? Channel, Permanent Link and the 90 Plus 10 Rule

The 100 metre limit is not a property of Ethernet. It is a property of the cabling standard, and it is a loss budget rather than a distance. This guide explains the 90 metre permanent link and the 10 metres left for cords, why the channel is the thing your electronics actually sees, what really happens past the limit, why 10GBASE-T stops at 37 metres over Category 6, how heat in an Australian roof space shortens a compliant run, and the three limits almost nobody checks. Includes diagrams, the cord length equation and a short FAQ.

How to Choose a Fibre Optic Cable: ADSS, Loose Tube, and Ribbon Explained

A 72 fibre loose tube cable and a 72 fibre ADSS cable can carry the same glass, yet one is built to be pulled through a duct and the other to hang between poles and carry its own weight in a storm. This guide answers which cable to buy first, then explains the types of fibre optic cable, how ADSS and loose tube differ, when to choose singlemode over multimode, and how aerial span, sag and tension decide an ADSS choice. Includes a decision table, cross section diagrams and a short FAQ.

How Much Antenna Separation Do You Need?
RF Engineering

How Much Antenna Separation Do You Need?

Put two radio systems on one tower and the transmitter on one antenna can deafen the receiver on the next. The real question is not distance but isolation, measured in decibels. This guide opens with a worked rooftop example, then explains the three ways co-located antennas interfere, how to turn a receiver's tolerance into a required isolation figure, and how vertical and horizontal separation deliver it. It uses the ITU-R M.2244 formulas, shows why stacking beats side-by-side spacing, and is clear about where the formulas stop being trustworthy and measurement has to take over.
