. https://dgap.org/en/research/publications/i...lecoms-industry - DGAP Analysis - The Impact and Limits of Sanctions on Russia’s Telecoms Industry Maria Kolomychenko - 12 March 2024 .... I explain how the Russian telecoms sector functions, the reasons behind its total reliance on Western technology, and how it manages to survive under sanctions. I then examine three vectors that the Russian telecommunications industry is currently pursuing in detail:
- The continuation of the purchase of advanced Western telecom equipment using so-called gray or parallel imports - The search for new suppliers in Asia and the forging of stronger ties with second-tier (“tier 2”) suppliers from countries that have not joined export restrictions toward Russia - Attempts to stimulate the production of domestic telecom equipment and the transition of telecom operators to its use
This analysis lays out why large telecom operators in Russia are not ready to risk their business and experiment with unknown equipment. Instead, they willingly take advantage of the government’s permission to “parallel import” the necessary equipment. As a result, despite the withdrawal of global vendors like Cisco, Nokia, and Ericsson from the Russian market, their equipment worth tens of millions of dollars is still supplied to Russia. While these are huge figures in absolute terms, far more is needed to fully meet the industry’s needs. ... . So, how come Russia has been buying US$ millions of USA's Cisco equipment via parallel imports using 3rd-party countries like China and Israel.? . Also, hidden kill switches =/= hidden backdoor spyware, and ...

A purportedly leaked Russian customs database shows around 500 shipments of Cisco gear arriving in Russia in August, months after the networking giant halted its business operations in that country.
Information extracted from the database and shared with MarketWatch appears to show that Cisco Systems Inc. products entered Russia from a number of countries, with the majority of shipments coming from China. Other countries of origin include Vietnam, Switzerland, Mexico, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand and Holland, as well as the U.S., according to the data.
In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, a host of major U.S. corporations, including Cisco, ended their Russian operations...
“On March 3, 2022, Cisco announced stopping all business operations in Russia and Belarus, including sales and services,” a Cisco spokesperson told MarketWatch via email. “This included discontinuing business with all Cisco partners and distributors in Russia and Belarus, which means they can no longer source products via authorized channels.
“On June 23, we announced the decision to begin an orderly wind-down of our business in Russia and Belarus,” the Cisco spokesperson added. “Cisco stands by this decision”... .... . https://www.wsj.com/articles/inside-the-gra...russia-23b60391 - Inside the Gray Market Keeping Cisco Tech in Stock in Russia Nearly a year after it stopped selling routers and other equipment, Cisco’s gear remains easy to buy - 14 Feb 2023 Weeks after Moscow invaded Ukraine, tech giant Cisco Systems Inc. stopped all sales of its hardware into Russia, and Washington issued a series of broad sanctions against the country, including restricting the sale of Cisco equipment.
As the war approaches its first anniversary, that same gear is still easy to find at a range of retailers in Moscow. It is being supplied by a network of third-party vendors in places like Turkey and Asia that have sprung up without Cisco’s authorization and are largely out of reach of American enforcement.
The U.S. has chided countries like Turkey and China for supplying Russia with gear that is aiding Moscow’s war effort or cushioning the blow of Western sanctions. But Western goods—while greatly curtailed—are still pouring into the country, too.
Tracking how Cisco products still make it into the country helps take measure of the difficulty in isolating Russia economically.
From March to November, Russia imported $12.4 billion worth of goods subject to sanctions or export bans from the West, including the sort of telecommunications equipment that Cisco provides, according to an analysis of customs data from 31 countries by Brussels-based think tank Bruegel. ... .

Because Windows doesn’t make much money for Microsoft these days, the company decided, beginning in Windows 10, that snooping on users à la Google and Facebook could be profitable.

In 2019, I wrote about the KLIA network glitch that affected the operations of the airport. The failure caused catastrophic failure which halted the airport operations. At that time, no details were available to confirm what actually happened.
I used my own experiences to related to the case and hypothesize what happened. Now, official details have emerged and this case study is now final, complete and factual. Read on to find out what actually happened.
The incident
The incident happened at 2019, but the issue was due to a request that happened in 2017. There is a hotel in the vicinity of the airport called Sama-Sama hotel. In October 2017, personnels of Sama-Sama hotel requested to connect the IPTV network (SSEKLIA2) to their ICT office. Note that the airport network infrastructure falls under the care of MAHB, naturally this request will go to MAHB. The request also carried a potential “Layer 2 multicast/routing issue”.
Come 11 July 2019, Sama-sama hotel personnel made another request to extend the VLAN 235 to SSHKILA, SSEKLIA1, SSEKLIA2. On 21 August 2019 8:15pm IT Division reported intermittent connection with TAMS (Total Airport Management System), at the Core Switch. An IT crisis was declared on 22 August 2019 at 3:00am, since the TAMS network was recovered (7 hours after the issue has been identified). TAMS network failure caused a cascading failure, affecting the Flight Information Management System, Flight Information Display System, Baggage Handling System, Gate Allocation System, Flight Data Processing System and the Immigration System.
A specialist team from Cisco came in to resolve the issue, enabling IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) to reduce the multicast. The migration to a new switch was also done. As part of the recovery process, MAHB ordered a N5K and N7k core switches.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3g01y047pdo - How China swerved worst of global tech meltdown 20 July 2024 While most of the world was grappling with the blue screen of death on Friday, one country that managed to escape largely unscathed was China.
The reason is actually quite simple: CrowdStrike is hardly used there.
Very few organisations will buy software from an American firm that, in the past, has been vocal about the cyber-security threat posed by Beijing.
Additionally, China is not as reliant on Microsoft as the rest of the world. Domestic companies such as Alibaba, Tencent and Huawei are the dominant cloud providers.
So reports of outages in China, when they did come, were mainly at foreign firms or organisations. On Chinese social media sites, for example, some users complained they were not able to check into international chain hotels such as Sheraton, Marriott and Hyatt in Chinese cities. ... .

Malaysia Airports turned to Huawei, which offered up its Fully Connected Fiber Network Solution - a reliable, agile, simplified, and green technology debuted in November 2023 - which has helped KLIA resolve all its pain points during digital transformation, laying a connectivity foundation for it to make the move from Airports 2.0 to Airports 4.0.
Huawei’s solution adopts an IP + DWDM dual-plane architecture. It capitalises on physical and logical service isolation to provide a highly reliable bearer of services for ATM authorities, airlines, and terminals. The router plane and WDM plane back each other up for cross-domain protection, meeting the lofty requirements of Malaysia Airports’ airlines and ATM authorities for reliable and secure networks.
Huawei’s Fully Connected Fiber Network Solution adopts GPON/XGS-PON technology at the access layer to realise natural Layer 2 isolation and avoid risks like network storms. It uses optical fibres instead of copper cables, which could only cover 100m at most. In addition, the solution features passive aggregation so that fewer ELV rooms are required, creating greener and more efficient airport operations.
The solution also brings with it a high degree of scalability, with no restrictions on bandwidth or distance; and cables do not need to be re-routed. This is because it supports flexible capacity expansion from GE to 10GE high-bandwidth networks. As Malaysia Airports enhances the specifications of its operational system, it needs an increasing number of smart terminals and higher bandwidth - NCE-IP delivers E2E services in one click, meeting the development requirements that will amount over the next 5-10 years.
With Huawei’s help, KLIA took just 4.5 months to migrate and upgrade the entire network; a vast improvement on what would usually be a 12-18 month endeavour. ... .
