"This IDTH has three main functions, one protection, meaning that protecting the public from using telecommunications devices that are not safe to use, unhealthy to use, it is the main function of protecting the community," Ismail told the media on Friday, May 17.
Then the second, Ismail said that the presence of this IDTH was intended as a gateway for the local telecommunications equipment industry that wanted to develop its business and export it abroad.
"So if there is an industry that will carry out business development or export of its devices, it will be tested on IDTH, so there is no need to be tested in the destination country, so that certificates from the Ministry of Communication and Information can be used," he explained.
