Iran is carrying out a project to design an IP networks monitoring software, an official with Iran's Cyberspace Research Institute said on Saturday.
"The software will be released in near future," the Mehr News Agency quoted Yeganeh as saying.
"Iran also plans to localize telephone IP equipments," he said.
Yeganeh went on to note that in the past two years Iran has been working on an IP PBX system.
Iran's telecommunications industry is almost entirely state-owned, dominated by the Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI).
Iran had more than 1 mobile phone per inhabitant by 2012.
The leading Data Communication Company of Iran (DCI) which belongs to Telecommunication Company of Iran (now privatized) and the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST) are two bodies that act as ISPs. The largest privately owned ISP is Parsnet, which serves only Tehran. The leading ISP with a provincial focus is Isfahan-based Irangate.net. The Neda Rayaneh Institute (NRI) was the first private ISP in Iran.
By the regulations of Iran, these ISPs should rely on the Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI) for their bandwidth. Previously serviced by TCI's Public Switch Telephone Network, the ISPs have recently been provided with modern data line capacity through a national IP-based network. With the completion of this new network, Internet services in Iran is expected to improve dramatically.
