The International
Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT - 2000) System in Malaysia
The Standardization Working Group 6 (WG6) on IMT-2000 developed the Malaysian Standard
on IMT-2000 for Terrestrial component. The standard was based on International Telecommunication

3GPP is the 3rd Generation Partnership Project, which, comprises of regional standardization
Organizational Partners such as ARIB, ETSI, T1, TTA, TTC and CWTS. 3GPP have developed
Technical Specifications for the 3rd Generation Mobile System based on the evolved
GSM core networks and the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN).
The Malaysian Standard covers all detail specifications of IMT-2000 terrestrial components
such as core network, radio access network, terminals and service aspects according
to 3GPP specifications.
