<p>Till then, the minister said, the government has asked several vendors, including Cisco, Juniper and Huawei, to share details of their telecom equipment.</p>.<p>"We have decided to set up a testing centre in India. But we will have to set up the protocol on our own. We don't want our security to be dependent on outside," Sibal said here. <br /><br />The minister denied media reports of an agreement between the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer Huawei to provide documentation and standards for studying telecom equipment. <br /><br />The minister clarified that Huawei is not helping IISc to set up any lab, and the institute has already set up one as part of an old pilot project.<br /><br />He said that the agreement signed between them was more like a non-disclosure agreement, so that the information that IISc gets from Huawei is not disclosed to others. <br /><br />Government had recently approved a centre for telecom testing and security certification, which was earlier a pilot project at IISc, Banglore, to be scaled up to a full-fledged centre in due course of time.<br /><br />The proposed centre would formulate standards and policies as well as provide facilities for testing, validation and security certification for various network elements.<br /><br />The minister added that by October 2011, all telecom issues, including licensing, tariff and spectrum allocation will be taken care of.</p>
