Issued by Sintesio; All rights reserved 1 st Interoperability test site endorsed by Type Approval is... Type approval Type approval is granted to a product that meets a minimum set of regulatory, technical and safety requirements. Generally, type approval is required before a product is allowed to be sold in a particular country, so the requirements for a given product will vary around the world.

Issued by Sintesio; All rights reserved 1 st Interoperability test site endorsed by Operator Vs Regulator Perspective Operators essentially want to assure revenue and therefore strive to create/preserve value for their customers While the aim of regulators is to protect the people, the environment and the resources

What test methodologies should be used? Which standards & recommendations should the equipment comply to?

Issued by Sintesio; All rights reserved 1 st Interoperability test site endorsed by Wrap-Up of the Breakaway Sessions – Common R&TTE Directive is a good point of reference Technology Independence is important Phased approach is encouraged The most problematic issues are to be addressed first (i.e. user equipment, receivers) (Harmonised) standards and their references to be used wherever possible

Issued by Sintesio; All rights reserved 1 st Interoperability test site endorsed by Issues Identified Counterfeit mobile terminals - cannot be solved by means of TA as those terminals enter the market illegally Questionable quality of network equipment, i.e. equipment not meeting the declared operation parametres - can be solved by menas of TA only to some extent

Issued by Sintesio; All rights reserved 1 st Interoperability test site endorsed by Cocluding Remarks An independent testing facility is important for the region. Phased approach encouraged. Start with essential requirements and then expand the scope based on the demand There is adequate regulatory framework but not enough normative framework and, consequently, little enforcement

Issued by Sintesio; All rights reserved 1 st Interoperability test site endorsed by Concluding Remarks Fake phones issue cannot be solved by means of testing and TA alone if they enter the market illegally, i.e. without TA Operators and regulators should equip themselves with detailed technical (protocols, architecture, testing) knowledge. Ideally by menas of university courses and other neutral sources Operators to concentrate on interoperability, performance and QoS. Signalling monitoring essential In the beginning, regulators to concentrate on essential requirements
