The country’s leading ICT Company “Synesis IT” is providing technical assistance to Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) in the process of registering all types of mobile handsets besides banning illegal and counterfeit handsets, said a press release on Thursday.
In the meantime, all the active handsets of the customers in the network have been automatically registered with National Equipment Identity Registrar (NEIR).
The release mentioned that, BTRC has reportedly taken up the NEIR project to prevent the import of illegal mobile handsets, reduce the level of theft, and increase national security and revenue by preventing mobile-based crime.
The release said, the experimental activities of the NEIR have started from July 1. The new mobile phones that will be added to the network, the validity of the handset will be verified through NEIR while keeping the network active. If the handset is valid, it will be registered automatically.
The release further said, in November 2020, Synesis IT signed an agreement with BTRC to implement the NEIR project.
