This meeting, at the invitation of the Mauritian regulator ICTA and the ILR president of Fratel 2022, will take place at the Hotel InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort in the Republic of Mauritius Thursday 10 and Friday 11 November 2022. The annual meeting will be devoted to the theme “Challenges and means of improving the resilience and security of telecommunications networks”. Vincent Roger-Machart will speak at the Fratel on November 10, 2022.

14:00-17:00 (GMT+4) Round table 2 – How to improve network resilience and what measures to respond to extreme events?
Faced with cyber-attacks, but also with natural risks and extreme climatic events, telecommunications systems and infrastructures are sometimes vulnerable and liable to be damaged or disrupted. Issues of improving the resilience of networks, particularly with regard to climate issues and measures to respond to extreme events (network breakdown, cutting of a submarine cable, theft or damage to equipment, rupture the routing of emergency calls) will be discussed during this round table. Moreover, the deployment of new networks, for example by multiple players working on the same equipment, can raise new questions of resilience. This issue may also be raised by the various stakeholders.
