APRS is a real-time tactical digital communicatons protocol for exchanging
information between a large number of stations covering a large (local)
area.  As a multi-user data network, it is quite different from 
conventional packet radio.

APRS is different from regular packet in four ways.  First by the 
integration of maps and other data displays to organize and display 
data, second, by using a one-to-many protocol to update everyone in real 
time, third, by using generic digipeating so that prior knowledge of the
network is not required,  AND FORTH, since 1997, a worldwide transparent   
internet backbone, linking everyone worldwide.  APRS turns packet radio 
into a real-time tactical communications and display system for emergencies 
and public service applications (and global communications).  Normal 
packet radio is useful in passing bulk message traffic (Email) from point-
to-point, but it does not do well at real time events where information 
has a very short life time and needs to get to everyone quickly.

APRS is a LOCAL RF network.  Although the Internet monitors APRS worldwide,
this is not the primary objective.  But like all of our other radios, how 
we use APRS in an emergency of special event is what drives the design of 
the APRS protocol.  Although APRS is used 99% of the time over great 
distances, and benign conditions, the protocol is designed to be optimized 
for short distance real-time crisis operations on RF.

APRS provides universal connectivity to all stations in the net by avoiding
the complexity and limitations of a connected network.  It permits 
any number of stations to exchange data just like voice users would on a 
voice net.  Any station that has information to contribute simply sends
it, and all stations receive it and log it.  Secondly, APRS recognizes 
that one of the greatest real-time needs at any special event or emergency 
is the tracking of key assets.  Where is the Event Leader?  Where are the 
emergency vehicles?  Whats the Weather at various points in the County?  

To answer these questions, APRS transmits and captures the location and 
status of all stations.  It can be used over any 2-way radio system 
including HAM, CB, Marine Band, etc.  See CB.txt,  Boats.txt, Aircraft.txt.

Padah tiada piawai Sirim

Oleh Zulfa Mohamad

NIBONG TEBAL: Tindakan seorang wanita mempromosi peralatan telekomunikasi yang tidak mempunyai kelulusan Institut Penyelidikan dan Piawaian Malaysia (Sirim), menerima padah apabila alat berkenaan dirampas, semalam.

Sebelum itu, wanita berusia 40-an itu mempamerkan walkie-talkie dan radio mudah alih untuk tujuan jualan di Dewan Utama Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Transkrian dekat sini.

Orang awam yang meragui tindakan wanita terbabit menghubungi polis sebelum Inspektor Anwar Johari dari Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah Komersial Ibu Pejabat Polis SPS mengetuai serbuan dengan kerjasama pegawai Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia (SKMM) diketuai Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Penguat Kuasa, Enkatesulu Juval serta pegawai penguat kuasa Sirim.

Timbalan Ketua Polis Daerah Seberang Prai Selatan (SPS), Asisten Superintendan Zulkifli Adamsah, berkata dalam serbuan itu lima unit walkie-talkie dan tiga unit radio mudah alih bernilai RM10,000 dirampas selepas didapati tidak mempunyai kelulusan Sirim.

Katanya, seorang wanita dari Parit Buntar, Perak yang juga jurujual peralatan berkenaan ditahan untuk siasatan manakala peralatan dirampas diserahkan kepada SKMM untuk tindakan lanjut.

“Tindakan diambil mengikut Seksyen 239 Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia 1998 yang membawa hukuman denda tidak lebih RM100,000 atau dua tahun penjara atau kedua-dua sekali jika sabit kesalahan,” katanya.

Zulkifli berkata, siasatan lanjut masih dijalankan bagi mengenalpasti sama ada peralatan telekomunikasi berkenaan diseludup masuk ke negara ini.

“Jurujual berkenaan mendakwa tidak mengetahui bahawa penjualan alat itu menjadi satu kesalahan jika tanpa memiliki kelulusan Sirim.

“Polis juga mengingatkan orang ramai supaya memastikan peralatan dibeli mendapat kelulusan pihak berkuasa,” katanya.

Menurutnya, setiap alat telekomunikasi yang hendak dijual perlu mempunyai kelulusan Sirim kerana penggunaan alat yang tidak dibenarkan boleh mengganggu frekuensi alat komunikasi lain.

“Polis juga mengalu-alukan maklumat orang ramai mengenai penjualan alat telekomunikasi yang tidak mempunyai kelulusan Sirim,” katanya.
