Softswitch Under MTCTE Certification in India: ER Testing Guide

The Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) Scheme, implemented by the DoT, entails mandatory certification of certain telecommunication equipment before their sale, import, or installation in India. Softswitch is one of those products for which certification for MTCTE phase three is mandatory and is classified as being under the category of Essential Requirements Applicable (ERA).

The receipt of applications for the certification of soft switches under the MTCTE scheme began on 1 January 2024. Manufacturers and importers are required to make sure that the products conform to the relevant Essential Requirements (ER) notified by TEC before launching the product in the Indian market.

According to the latest MTCTE notification, the product will be valid until 1 January 2050, and its mandatory certification date will be 1 April 2050, or else until revised by the Department of Telecommunications in the future.

UMSPCS provides end-to-end support for softswitch manufacturers and importers for the entire MTCTE certification process, from product applicability assessment through to preparation of documents, review of test reports, filing of applications, and coordination with authorities, ensuring efficient and hassle-free compliance.

What is the Meaning of a Softswitch?

A softswitch is a software-based switching system to deal with voice and multimedia communication through IP networks. It ensures correct routing of calls, signalling, and communication between various telecom networks, making it an essential part of modern telecom infrastructure.

Softswitches are very common with telecom service providers and enterprises for the administration of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services and next-generation communication networks.
