About China CTA/NAL network access test/test cases/test time
What is China CTA Certification?
China implements a network access licensing system for the telecommunications terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment involved in inter network exchange used to access the public telecommunications network. Telecommunications equipment must obtain a network access license; without a network access license, it shall not be connected to the public telecommunications network for use or sold domestically.
Telecom equipment network access certification
Network access license, is China implements a network access license system for the telecommunications terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment involved in the interconnection between networks used to access the public telecommunications network. The telecommunications equipment that implements the network access license system must obtain the network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; without the network access license, it shall not be connected to the public telecommunication network for use or sold domestically. The network access license certificate includes the certificate number, applicant unit, manufacturer, equipment name, equipment model, origin, remarks, certificate issuance date, and certificate limited date. The network access license is generally valid for 3 years.
