Abstract

In the modern world, the information and communication technologies (ICT) have become the basis for the confident development. All countries are on the way to the introduction of the new digital technologies in the following areas of activity: Smart Homes, Healthcare, Agriculture, Industrial Automation, Transportation and Logistics, Retail, Smart Cities, Energy Management, Digital Government. The key to implementing new ICTs is to integrate them into existing communication networks. However, it is necessary to verify that the new equipment will not damage the integrity of the Resilience and Security of the Communication Network. For these purposes, a system of mandatory confirmation of the conformity of means and services of communication is introduced and maintained in a working state. In the case of the introduction of new ICTs, there is a need to modify the current regulatory framework, Equipping testing laboratories with new equipment, Staff training and development activities, Validation and implementation of new test methods. In most developing countries the above-mentioned set of activities presents objective difficulties. The article provides a general approach to the organization of the introduction of new ICT.
