Govt launches website for trusted telecom products

NEW DELHI: The government on Tuesday launched a website for giving clearance to trusted products that telecom operators can install in their network under the National Security Directive on telecommunication sector, according to a note issued by the National Security Council Secretariat.

Telecom operators are required to access the website, www.trustedtelecom.gov.in, to indicate the telecom products and the vendor from whom they intend to procure the products.

The access will also be given to the respective vendors named by the telecom operators.

“An assessment is made of the vendors and the sources of the components to determine trusted sources and trusted products which are then intimated to the vendor concerned and the applicant TSPs (telecom service providers) to make their procurements,” the note said.
