The Trusted Network Initiative
The Trusted Network Initiative (TNI) is a global initiative initially led by the United States government, formerly known as the “Clean Network Initiative” to promote the development and deployment of secure and reliable telecommunications networks.
The TNI aims to bring together governments, industry, and academia to identify and address vulnerabilities in the telecommunications supply chain that could be exploited by malicious actors.

A Grant Agreement has been signed between the United States of America, acting through the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), and NOW Telecom Company, Inc. (NOW Telecom) to fund technical assistance and pilot project to support the development of a secure 5G stand-alone network infrastructure in the Philippines.
“Filipinos can and should be secure online. Securing against malicious cyber activities is difficult even in the best of times, but it is infinitely more difficult when the risk comes from the entity that built and may maintain access to a telecommunications network.”
