It is located in the city of Dongguan, China, and has been developed with the assistance of important organizations such as the GSMA, SUSE, the British Standards Institution and regulators from the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia.

It will be open to all types of regulators, independent third-party testing organizations and standardization organizations , as well as Huawei customers, partners and suppliers.
Within the telecommunications segment , the GSMA bodies and the 3GPP have also worked with industry stakeholders to promote NESAS security assurance specifications and independent certifications .
