Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: bring satellite Internet equipment and functional virtualization equipment into the current network license management
Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, February 6, according to the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has now issued a notice on a number of reform measures in the network access license system for telecommunications equipment (hereinafter referred to as the "circular").
The Circular points out that satellite Internet equipment and functional virtualization equipment shall be incorporated into the current network license management in accordance with the provisions of the Telecommunication regulations and the measures for the Administration of Telecommunication equipment access to the Network.
CTOnews.com learned that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that satellite Internet equipment refers to a new type of network equipment that completes data exchange based on satellite communication technology and provides Internet services to users. Satellite Internet is a new information and communication infrastructure after fixed communication network and mobile communication network, and it is one of the key directions of the future development of global information and communication network. In the future network evolution, the satellite Internet will be further integrated with the ground communication network to gradually form a three-dimensional communication network with the integration of heaven and earth.
Functional virtualization device refers to a new type of network device which uses virtualization, programmable and other technologies to software the function of the device and runs on the general hardware platform. Different from the traditional network equipment with the integration of hardware and software, with the application and development of software-defined network (SDN) and network function virtualization technology (NFV), functional virtualization devices realize the decoupling and separation of functional software and hardware platforms in telecommunications devices, and will be widely used in mobile communications and data communications and other fields.
In addition, the Circular also adjusts the supervision of some telecommunications equipment, including 11 types of telecommunications equipment, including fixed telephone terminals, cordless telephone terminals, group phones, fax machines, modems (including cards), wireless pagers, narrowband integrated services digital network terminals (ISDN terminals), multimedia terminals accessing mobile communication networks, frame relay exchanges, asynchronous transfer mode exchanges (ATM exchanges), call center equipment, etc. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will no longer accept and approve new applications for network access permits.
