The head of the
Ministry of Communications and Mass Media Nikolai Nikiforov sent a letter to the
Ministry of Industry and Trade criticizing the plan for import substitution of electronics. According to the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, it is necessary to exclude 65 types of telecommunication equipment from the plan “in order to optimize budget funds and technological need.” Thus, some models of switches, routers, communication facilities for management and monitoring, equipment of wireless broadband access systems of IEEE802.11 and micro LTE standards can be excluded.
In addition, together with the
Rostelecom operator
, the Ministry of Communications has offered its list of telecommunication devices to be replaced by domestic counterparts. The list consists of 25 positions. It includes user equipment for GSM, UMTS and LTE networks, network microprocessors and webcams.
In a letter to the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, Nikiforov also complained that critical comments had been repeatedly sent to the ministry during the past two months. However, so far no reaction to them has been observed.

wrote that the Ministry of Industry and Trade had developed a plan for importing 534 different types of computing equipment, telecommunications equipment, semiconductor microwave electronics, peripheral equipment and electronic components.
