A consortium of telecommunications technologies proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade is imposing duties on foreign technologies that reduce the consumption of fiber-optic communication lines, Kommersant writes.
In particular, the consortium proposes to introduce import duties in the amount of 20% of the cost of DWDM and DAS systems.
DWDM – a technology for transmitting a large number of optical channels over a single optical fiber, used to organize high-speed communication networks.
DAS – a storage system with a direct connection to a server or workstation.
Representatives of the organization added that, following the results of public procurement tenders in 2022, the market for radio-electronic products was not freed from manufacturers. The top suppliers have been replaced by second-tier companies located in China, India, Israel and the United States.
Without a doubt, the consortium proposes the use of technologies from the Russian company T8. She showed Volga DWDM systems and Danube DAS systems.
Rostelecom supports the offer. MegaFon that the initiative does not solve the problems associated with import substitution and the exclusion only to improve the efficiency of meters. [Коммерсантъ]
