ICT Sector Standardization
Standards ensure the security and
interoperability of the communication equipment,
networks, end user devices.
Introduction to compliance with standards
increase efficiency of network equipment, create
favorable conditions for fair and sustainable
competition, support new applications and
services.
Since democratic revolution in 1990, Mongolia is
doing entry into the free market economy
system, an increased role for private enterprise
have enabled ICT sector to rapidly expand their
services.

ICT Sector Standardization
At present, almost no manufacturers produce
communication equipment. Therefore market has
many imported products do not fulfill the technical
specifications and standards and that is what makes
them difficult to regulate.
In the ICT sector it is important that equipment and
services are mutually compatible and interoperable,
so that end users can communicate and share
information with each other using different devices.
Relevant standards help to ensure equipment made
by different companies are able to work together
seamlessly. So it is necessary to support the ICT
sector by standardization.

Pros and cons
Advantages:
 Allows different brand work
together
 Lower prices and better
technical development
 Not locked into one
manufacturer
 Able to compare equipment
performance
 Can be serviced by a
different vendors
 Easy to find substitute
equipment
Disadvantages:
o May not be the best technical
solution
o Locked into one
manufacturer
o Difficult to find equipment
which follows the standards
o Unable to compare
equipment
o Higher prices
o Less technical development

Standard development
Former Union of Industrial and
Research Institute developed 50
standards that were inspected
and most in need of revision or
modification. 1973-1989
Due to economic crisis of the
1990-2000’s standard
development activities had
stopped in the ICT sector.
According to the Law on
Communication of 2001 CRC
implements the authority to
“develop and get approved by
relevant authority and monitor
the implementation of
communications standard”
National standards
development and
approval process
in the ICT sector
takes time,
money, active
participation of
stakeholders, legal
and regulatory
framework.
