The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications intends to approve the concept for the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Russia. At the same time, it provides access to data on IoT platforms for law enforcement agencies. The most interesting thing here is that in the name of protecting the Russian segment of the Internet of Things, they want to create a closed network.
It is planned that the network will be connected to the system of means of operational-search activities (SORM). All this is explained by the fact that IoT networks are vulnerable, and the devices in them collect data and also control the processes in the economy. In addition, it is proposed to use a system of identifiers for IoT devices, network equipment and others. It is proposed to introduce a separate license for services in this area. The use of devices without identifiers in Russia is going to be limited.
Of course, the concept provides for support for domestic equipment manufacturers who want to give advantages in procurement. At the same time, it is planned to limit the import and use of foreign equipment. The working group "Information Infrastructure" of the ANO "Tsifrovaya ekonomika" considered the draft concept this week.
“The proposals of the majority of market players have been taken into account, contradictions have been eliminated. Business submitted comments that are planned to be worked out at the site of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications within two weeks, ”said Dmitry Markov, director of the Information Infrastructure direction of the Digital Economy. It was also stated that a conciliation meeting with the FSB and the specialized competence center was already planned.
At the same time, market participants say that "Russian manufacturers are not ready to offer solutions for a number of standards, which can lead to a technological vacuum." So they think in VimpelCom, calling the ban on foreign components too tough. There are also questions about the identification system.
“Identification of IoT devices is necessary, but its standards should be developed by market participants and not limited to Russia,” said Andrey Kolesnikov, director of the Internet of Things Association.
Thus, so far, legislators and the market have not come to a common denominator. And it's hard to say what will happen next.
