Chinese firms not given login details of govt’s trusted telecom products portal

With the implementation of National Security Directive on the telecommunication sector, the government has provided login credentials to operators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for accessing the trusted telecom products portal and submit details, but Chinese companies have not been given the login IDs.

According to sources, over the last couple of days, the concerned personnel of telecom operators, including Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and their vendors – both global and Indian like Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, Tejas, HFCL etc — have been given the login credentials, barring companies such as Huawei and ZTE.
