Recognizing these challenges, Indonesia’s Accelerator Lab seeks to explore the issues impacting urbanization.
(...) During the launch of Indonesia’s Accelerator Lab on 24 March, we engaged with participants and invited them to share their insights of future cities.
(...) Looking ahead, the Accelerator Lab aims to facilitate more cross-pollination experiments in capital city Jakarta’s several urban villages.

My grandmother used to say: "Before you try to change the world, go around your own house three times". (...) The latest UNDP Accelerator Lab citizen science experiment taught us that 75% of domestic waste is recyclable or reusable. (...) , and the like.
The UNDP Accelerator Lab uses environmental psychology to uncover behavioral factors that underly household waste separation (UNDP)
“All behavior is based on processes in people’s minds.”

Centre(s)
Accra (Ghana), 4-6 July 2011
Fundamentals of an orderly telecom equipment marketplace
Robust technical requirements for products entering the marketplace
Interference free services – wireless and wireline
Products are safe for citizens and service provider personnel
Market access regime that inspires trust and confidence in users
Delivers national and international connectivity
Reflects priorities and values of a society

Implementation alternatives for an orderly telecom equipment marketplace
Example 1- fully fledged national system
Robust legal framework for market entry with assessed penalties for non compliance
Telecom policy and regulations
Accreditation, certification and testing
Marking
Post market surveillance and audit
Technical specifications covering the following areas of activity:
wireless and wireline
EMC
SAR
Broadcast 3
Implementation alternatives for an orderly telecom equipment marketplace
Example 2- Adoption
Adopt one or more schemes already deployed successfully in other economies
Examples already used as interim measure by some developing countries:
EU marking
FCC marking
IC marking

Status of needs in Developing Countries
Many developing countries moving quickly from uncontrolled market access driven by variety of concerns e.g. health, quality, performance of equipment
Many DCs already using Adoption method to improve orderliness in telecom marketplace
Many more have moved already to implement test labs, accreditation and certification systems
Others actively seeking assistance to establish test centres and improve quality and performance
Growing recognition of business opportunity of becoming country with the test lab(s) of choice for regional needs
BDT/TSB initiatives on test centres timely and viewed positively 5
Interoperability Testing Issues
Interoperability testing is at another level of complexity beyond regulatory type approval testing
Deals with complex protocol implementation and interactions between and among complete devices – system testing
Complementary to conformance testing
Greater requirement for programming language and computer science expertise
Expertise required in test suite languages, formal description languages, sophisticated test tools
Type approval test lab expertise can ease transition to interoperability testing

Conclusions
Excellent websites exist in various countries fully furnished with type approval test info as in previous 3 slides
Websites are replete with detailed technical standards, test methods, procedures, fee schedules and market surveillance and audit information
In principle the same parameters tested are common for all regulatory type approval systems
No need to re-invent the wheel
Many countries willing to provide on-site training, in some cases for free
Some Lab visits and demonstrations available at no charge – travel and accommodation costs to be borne by visitors 23

Conclusions
Excellent websites exist in various countries fully furnished with type approval test info as in previous 3 slides
Websites are replete with detailed technical standards, test methods, procedures, fee schedules and market surveillance and audit information
In principle the same parameters tested are common for all regulatory type approval systems
No need to re-invent the wheel
Many countries willing to provide on-site training, in some cases for free
Some Lab visits and demonstrations available at no charge – travel and accommodation costs to be borne by visitors 23

A cornerstone to combat counterfeit devices
Abstract:
Establishing a robust framework for regulatory testing for mobile devices is becoming crucial to
protect the local market and consumer, especially IOT-devices are getting more and more widely
deployed in mass infrastructure like waste and energy management, low quality imported mass-IOT
devices are a concern for national security, regional test labs are the important.
In this presentation we will explore the main scopes of a Test lab that includes RF type approval testing
plus SAR and EMC compliance testing completes the homologation test plan, we will focus for each
section by showing the typical measurements and the associated results.

Module 01a - IPv6 OSPF
ISP Workshop Lab
1
IPv6 Module 1a – OSPF
Objective: Create a basic physical lab interconnection using IPv6 with one OSPF Area running on top of an existing IPv4 infrastructure.
Prerequisites: IPv4 Lab Module 1, knowledge of Cisco router CLI, and previous hands on experience.
(...) As with the IPv4 portion of this Module we are going to introduce basic concepts of putting together a sensible IPv6 addressing plan for an ISP backbone. The RIRs are typically handing out IPv6 address space in /32 chunks – we assume for the purposes of this lab that our ISP has received a /32.
