NEWS ROOM
Ravi Sharma, former CEO of Adani Power Ltd, Alcatel Lucent and Videocon Telecom has been appointed as the new executive chairman by the Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association. TEMA has nominated Sandeep Aggarwal as Vice Chairman of TEMA, Anil Jain as Director (Honorary) and Advocate Ashok Aggarwal as Director in relation to the growing challenges in the telecom industry. Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Association (TEMA) has backed up Trai’s initiative of blocking unwanted pesky calls and messages from unregistered telemarketers. Since the mobile penetration in India in increasing, TEMA has asked the telecom regulator to freeze on UCC for wanted and unwanted customers completely. Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Association (TEMA) is concerned with the plight of mobile users, suffering from the Unsolicited Commercial Communications (UCC) and supports TRAI’s initiative on the issue. TEMA demands a 100 % freeze on UCC for wanted / Unwanted customers. We urge TRAI, TSP's, ISP's and telemarketers to plan and implement a solution jointly to curb this menace of pesky calls. Due to increased dependence of mobile phones during the pandemic, phishing and cybercrime calls have increased. Mobile customers are feeling helpless. The Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Association (TEMA) has sought a freeze on unsolicited commercial communications (UCC) and has urged the industry to take "urgent" steps to curb the pesky calls menace. It is reported that some telecom operators are offering priority telecom plans to customers. These new plans will provide priority on a wireless network to certain customers. This move may be to attract high paying retail customers and corporate customers. Telecom vendors' association TEMA has sought Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad's intervention in getting Rs 3,000 crore dues from BSNL, even despite the state-run firm has been reminded by suppliers and manufacturers several times. In a letter to the Minister, the Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association (TEMA) said: "There is issue of release of funds from USOF to BSNL for the works already done by BSNL vendors. It is reported that some telecom operators are offering priority telecom plans to customers. These new plans will provide priority on a wireless network to certain customers.This move may be to attract high-paying retail customers and corporate customers. Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC), the technical wing of the telecom department, on Tuesday started issuing certificate to telecom equipment makers after testing their products in government certified laboratories set up in the country. The certificates have been issued after a delay of about six years. The government had first set October 1, 2013 as deadline for scrutiny of all telecom products and equipment to be sold in the country to check espionage through malwares. Global telecom vendors such as Ericsson, Nokia, ZTE and Huawei are likely to oppose the telecom department’s diktat to run mandatory safety checks on imported network gear from October 1 via local labs, saying it will only result in duplication of certification activity, disrupting network gear availability in India and delaying 4G network rollouts by at least 6-to-9 months. "TEMA has been demanding mandatory testing since 2010 and that the Government of India as far as back on November 30, 2012 recognised security threat from China telecom equipments and decided that from April 1, 2013 the certification shall be done by only recognized labs/agencies in India," TEMA added. The Department of Telecomunications (DoT) engineering wing has notified some telecom products to be put under mandatory testing regime under phase - II starting October 1, 2020. The Telecom Department has notified mandatory testing and certification for additional range of products, used in telecom and data networks, from October 1, 2020.
