The Romanian National Defense Council (CSAT) recently rejected a request from two members of Nokia's Finnish group to obtain permission to use technologies, equipment and software on IT infrastructures of national interest and on 5G networks, according to the decisions in the announcement.

The two companies rejected by CSAT are Nokia Solutions and Networks OY and Nokia Networks SRL, which are part of the Finnish Nokia Group, one of Huawei's and Ericsson's largest manufacturers of 5G equipment and solutions.

According to the decision, Starc4Sys is the first service provider to receive approval from the Supreme National Defense Council (CSAT) for the use of technologies, equipment and software in national information and communication infrastructures and 5G networks in Romania. signed by Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca on Friday, January 7th. This is the first opinion under a 5G law promulgated last year that could exclude Huawei Chinese from the country’s telecommunications networks.

Subsequently, two other companies received CSAT licenses, namely RO Security Company and Concept Electronics. The first company provides security services and alarm systems, including to the Israeli Embassy and Leumi Bank, while Concep Electronics provides IT equipment and has entered into a number of contracts with STS, SCM and ministries.

Equipment and programs from a non-CSAT-licensed 5G manufacturer may only be used in the core of telecommunications networks for 5 years and other equipment for 7 years. The adoption of this law is one of the conditions for the launch of 5G, through which the state hopes for more than 500 million euros.

According to the law, the authorization of 5G equipment and software manufacturers is granted by a decision of the Prime Minister's Office, with the consent of the Supreme Council of National Defense (CSAT), within 4 months of the submission of the application.
