European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), established in 1988 and based in Sophia Antipolis, France, is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to producing globally applicable standards for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). ETSI develops technical standards for a wide range of ICT-enabled systems, applications, and services, facilitating interoperability and supporting global communications infrastructure. The institute collaborates with industry stakeholders, governments, and research entities to advance innovation and maintain the integrity of telecommunications networks worldwide.
Since the beginning of 2022 the ETSI MEC Industry Specification Group (ETSI ISG MEC) has moved forward with the on-going Phase 3 work, which is foreseen to help accelerate and enable more effective and fruitful collaboration with other organizations.
ETSI has just published GS PDL 011 the first in a series of specifications that are concerned with the implementation of permissioned distributed ledgers (PDL). This and following specifications will help with the realisation of the numerous operational and security advantages of a decentralised approach to the recording of transactions, while simultaneously being both inexpensive to perform and inherently scalable.
The ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) for Network Functions Virtualization(NFV) has started working on its next specification release, known as "Release 5”, officially kicking off the new Release technical work after their September meeting.
ETSI DECT-2020 NR, the world’s first non-cellular 5G technology standard, has been recognized by the WP5D of the International Telecommunication Union’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and included as part of the 5G standards in IMT-2020 technology recommendation.
ETSI’s 5th Generation Fixed Network group (F5G ISG) has just released its first specification, ETSI GS F5G 003, entitled F5G Technology Landscape. In this specification, the ISG studies the technical requirements, existing standards and gaps for 10 different new use cases, for home, enterprises or industrial needs.
ETSI is pleased to announce the release of three major specifications and report developed by its Zero-touch network and Service Management (ZSM) group.
ETSI’s Industry Specification Group on Encrypted Traffic Integration (ISG ETI) has concluded the early part of its work, by identifying problems arising from pervasive encrypted traffic in communications networks.
