Follow on Google News | ETSI partners with North America’s Alliance for Telecommunications Industry SolutionsThe European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and North America's Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) formalize a long-standing collaboration in standards-making.
By: Paul Reid, ETSI "This agreement further strengthens ATIS' relationship with ETSI and reflects a shared vision regarding the importance of standards in global commerce," said Susan Miller, ATIS President and CEO. "The areas of mutual interest between our two organizations have been strategically mapped to allow more effective collaboration and reflect the fact that standardization efforts increasingly have a global impact. From wireless to broadband to emerging applications such as Smart Grid, standardization is vital to ensuring that new ICT products and services can be deployed." "ETSI is committed to ensuring global collaboration with all the important standardization organizations of the world. ATIS is unquestionably one of our long-standing partners with whom we have collaborated very effectively in the past, especially in the big success story of 3GPP," commented Walter Weigel, ETSI Director-General. "I am therefore delighted by the establishment of the MoU with ATIS and I am confident that this collaboration will lead to many benefits for the development of ICT standards with worldwide impact." ETSI and ATIS are committed to avoiding duplication of technical work and both benefit from adopting a complementary approach to the standardization process in their areas of mutual interest. The MoU’s scope includes data-sharing agreements and calls for both organizations to participate in joint meetings with the principal goal of developing and deploying next generation networks. # # # About ETSI ETSI produces globally-applicable standards for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, transport, broadcast and internet technologies and is officially recognized by the European Union as a European Standards Organization.
