[AusNOG] [Caution: Message contains Redirect URL content] Re: 4G Redundancy Device

Interesting point Steven...

But I will argue it - because it's relevant to any operator who wants to
bring in their own equipment.

We don't have a regime where you need to submit devices to a government
body for type approval, or even use local AU/NZ labs to perform testing. As
a supplier you just have to self-register and document that devices conform
to local regulations. You can do that by assembling a compliance folder of
existing test reports showing devices pass in other markets - typically
European Norms.

Compliance is my least favourite thing to do (I'd rather be building
networks) but it rarely limits the type of equipment I want to use.

Cheers,

Jon (supplier E5378 registered for ACMA & EESS though primarily active in
NZ)
