Workshop Overview

As global infrastructure races toward IPv6-only networks, AI-native connectivity, and a post-quantum security era, the question is no longer if organizations will need to comply — it's how fast they can get there, and how securely.

This half-day technical workshop brings together India's leading regulators, testing authorities, and global standards experts for a deep, practical look at what IPv6 compliance and next-generation network security actually demand — from policy to protocol, from lab to live deployment.

What You'll Walk Away With

Global Regulatory Clarity

A clear view of the global IPv6 regulatory landscape and where India stands within it.

India's Compliance Roadmap

Direct insight into India's IPv6 compliance requirements (MTCTE and beyond) straight from TEC.

Security, Up Close

A hands-on look at the IPv6 Security Test Specification shaping the path toward global (IPv6 Forum) adoption.

Quantum-Ready Testing

An early look at Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) testing and TEC's new Test Guide for quantum-safe readiness.

Industry Readiness

OEM and equipment-readiness perspectives on building next-gen, IPv6-native infrastructure.

A Regional Lens

Malaysia's SIRIM/MCMC compliance journey, and lessons for markets navigating the same transition.

Who Should Attend

🏛️ Telecom regulators and policymakers
📡 Network operators and service providers
💻 OEMs and equipment vendors
🔒 Cybersecurity and cryptography professionals
📋 Standards and compliance teams
🎓 Academic and research institutions

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

"IPv6 is no longer a future-proofing exercise — it's operational reality. And with quantum computing on the horizon, security testing frameworks built today will define what 'compliant' and 'secure' mean for the next decade of Indian and APAC digital infrastructure. This session is where that groundwork gets laid — by the people actually writing the standards."
