CTA Network Access Certification
Certification Introduction
Telecommunications terminal equipment that want to access the public telecommunications network needs to apply for a network access license. The application for the "Network Access License" of communication products is commonly known as "CTA" in the industry. According to the current laws and regulations of my country, the state implements a network access license system for telecommunications terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment involving network interconnection used to access the public telecommunications network (China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom). Telecommunications equipment that implements the network access license system must obtain a network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; those that do not obtain a network access license shall not be connected to the public telecommunications network for use and sold domestically.
SRRC is the mandatory certification requirement of the National Radio Management Committee, which is what we often call model approval. CTA is the mandatory requirement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Telecommunications Equipment Administration for communication products. CTA requires a SRRC certificate before issuing a license. Simply put, these are two parallel lines that finally intersect.
Network license, the state implements a network access license system for telecommunications terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment involving network interconnection used to access the public telecommunications network. Telecommunications equipment that implements the network access license system must obtain a network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; if a network access license is not obtained, it shall not be connected to the public telecommunications network for use or sold domestically. The network access license certificate contains the certificate number, applicant, manufacturer, equipment name, equipment model, place of origin, remarks, certificate issuance date, and certificate expiration date. The network access license is generally valid for 3 years.
