Can never be a stand-alone deviceHave to interwork with other devicesMust follow pre-defined protocols for any service or applicationConformance for PerformanceInteroperabilityEMI/EMC/EMFSafetySecurityHealthNo necessity of legislation, as standardisation is ‘the’ only way to ensure performance

Standardisation in India
Creation of National StandardsHarmonisation of International StandardsBureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
All products, except telecom
Telecom Engineering Centre (TEC)All telecom productsFormulates technical requirementsTests and certifies telecom products, interfaces, and networksTelecom arm of DoTRepresents Government of India in international telecom bodies
Bangalore, India, 17-18 December 2012 7
Application of Standards in India
No mandatory checks for conformance to standardsNo mandatory certification before induction in telecom networkProducts may ‘not’ conform to all the desired specifications
May not interwork properlyMay cause harm to other equipment or user
Standardisation promotes, anddoes not hinder development in telecomMarket is mature now
Bangalore, India, 17-18 December 2012 8
Way Forward
Shift focus from urban to ruralBottoms-up approach
C-DoT RAX ModelAspirations will guide the developmentsRural-centric
Network, Equipment, Services, Content, User InterfacesInnovate – Ingenuous designs, conform to standardsNew services, applications, protocolsAffordability
Energy/power, environmentCapacity building
Set-up labs for development and testing of productsTrain man-power
Bangalore, India, 17-18 December 2012 9
Mandatory Certification
All telecom equipment to be tested and certified before induction in Indian telecom networkMinimum parameters to be tested – conformance to standards, user and network safety, and integrityChanges in Telegraph Rules and Licenses to implement the schemeTesting by Conformance Assessment Bodies (CAB)Certification by Certification Body (CB) – TECUse of Certifying LogoSurveillance

Way Forward forDevelopment of Standards
Motivate stakeholders (R&D centres, manufacturers, service providers, academia, users, etc.) to collaborate and channelize R&D activities for development of standards/IPRs for new products and servicesInvolve all academia and R&D centres for telecom products and servicesMotivate stakeholders to participate in developmental process of standards in national and international forums
Participate in National Working Group (NWG) meetings in DoT/TEC to agree upon national stance on a particular standardParticipate in International Forums, like ITU, to project ‘national’ standard
Bangalore, India, 17-18 December 2012 11
Establishment of SDO
Establish a national telecom Standards Development Organisation, to focus on the country-specific requirements, especially on rural networks.Draw synergy of all the stakeholders, viz., R&D centres, manufacturers, service providers, academia, users, etc. Drive consensus on the deliverablesFocus energies on specific products and services to work on, and evolveSuitable methodologies for transfer-of-technology, manufacturing and commercialisation thereofSuitable mechanism for handling IPRs, without stifling the growthNew standards, national requirements, etc.
Bangalore, India, 17-18 December 2012 12
Development of new Standards and Products
Research on a new product or service, based on new specificationsDevelop prototypeLab testing for conformance, performance, interoperability, etc.Field trial and validationFile IPRValidate the new specifications as new standards – TECGenerate revenue for the survival of entire process

Conclusions & Recommendations
Bridge Standardisation GapEnforce conformance to all standardsEnhance R&D and ManufacturingDraw synergy of all stakeholders in development and formulation of standards through national telecom SDORegularly participate and take proactive stance in international forums to project national perspective
