Panel on 5G trials to seek ‘network architecture’ details from telcos

NEW DELHI: A top panel overseeing 5G trials has come up with a list of 20 questions for telcos, seeking compliances on data security, privacy, localisation, and lawful interception of unregulated communication services, such as calls or messages over apps.

“Telcos are also expected to provide details around the ‘network architecture’, basis which applications for trials will be approved or rejected,” sources told ET. The inter-ministerial panel includes principal scientific advisor Dr Vijay Raghavan, the telecom secretary and the ministry of external affairs secretary, among others.
