The Indian government agreed yesterday to allow the importation of telecommunications gear from China while at the same time implementing new security screening measures, effectively ending an unofficial ban on Chinese telecom vendors.
Equipment from China will now have to be tested and certified by an international security agency such as Canada’s Electronic Warfare Associates, Israel’s ALTAL Security Consulting, or Infoguard based out of the United States, until India’s National Informatics Center (NIC) can set up a dedicated domestic certification and diagnostics lab.
