Who is ETSI?

Why ETSI?

7

In the EU

Policy Making European Commission ETSI works closely with EC and many other organisations

Regulation NRAs ETSI provides technical specifications to support regulation

Frequency issues CEPT ETSI collects, co-ordinates and contributes frequency

requirements for the ICT community

ICT Standards ETSI ETSI seeks to produce global standards 20% ETSI Members have no established operations in EU

8

ICT Standards organization, private not for profit

Global membership (650+ Members, 80% industry, 20% overseas)

Track record of worldwide industrial hits (fixed, mobile, broadcast)…

…enabled also by a recognized IPR policy (FRAND)

Favors partnerships (regional/technical)

Founding partner and home of the 3GPP

(EU/US/China/Japan/Korea)

Broadcast (EBU/CLC)

Interoperability services (test specs, test suites, interop

testing-”PlugTests”)

Forum hosting

All standards available free of charge

Nortel “why ETSI?”

« Direct participation by members

The place where our customers and regulators go

Innovative, well respected and well connected world wide

Shared development cost with the complete industry

A great place to see and drive the convergence of IT and electronic communications based on complete system design expertise”

14

Vodafone- Why ETSI?

“Has highest reputation as the place for telecom standards

Basis of many world-renowned standards such as GSM from 3GPP, with Mobile Competence Centre

Partnership with US, Japan, China, Korea

Recognised by EU and ITU – and most other standards bodies

Overheads lower with more projects to share these costs”

15

Changing Environment for Standardization

16

Changing environment: our analysis

1. Fragmentation of standards making market End to end monolithic standards are behind us

2. Usage/applications-driven standardization « Shopping » for standards

Interoperability ex-post

3. So long the split standards makers/standards takers China, Latin America…who’s next?

17

Changing environment: our analysis

4. ICT increasingly software intensive Priority: develop systems, components, products FAST Interoperability (of components) comes next

5. Stakes moving up towards middleware Infrastructure converging (IMS) Point of gravity of convergence IT/telco/broadcast/CE is in

middleware - e.g. Mobile TV Convergence: no picnic, rather plate tectonics

6. Open standards are necessary, but not sufficient To start with, there are plenty of very good ones to choose from What standards to enable the creation of value/industrial

ecosystems around a technology?

18

We believe it’s about Interoperability

But the very meaning of “Interoperability” changes

From specifying end to end systems to a logic of assembling (standard & non-standard) building blocks From standardizing interfaces ex ante to

addressing interoperability of components ex post

Standardization has always been about interoperability

19

We believe it is about standards integration (1)

In a fragmented standards making market an agreed architecture is key to achieve interoperability.

ETSI focus is on technical interoperability (inter-working) Ex-ante specs: requirements, architecture, protocol (profiles) Ex-post specs: conformance tests, interoperability tests

Standards architect: system integrator (design for interoperability) and project coordinator

20

Standards integration (2)

Efficient collaboration with other standards bodies and forums is a pre-requisite e.g. GSMA, OMA, WIMAX forum etc

Development of the ETSI interoperability “product line” In addition to conformance testing and IOT Creation of a group on IOP (Interoperability process) to

coordinate generic aspects of interoperability Hub of 3G/IMS/NGN test-beds in process EU/LA initiative on interop profiles for e-gov applications

21

ETSI’s set of unique and complementary resources:Technical Committee MTS (Methods for Testing and Specification)

• Development of methodologies, techniques and languages http://portal.etsi.org

ETSI’s Protocol and Testing Competence Centre (PTCC)

• Supports ETSI committees on the application of formal techniques in standards on a daily basis

• Development of test specifications (conformance and interop)

http://www.etsi.org/ptcc

ETSI Plugtests™ Service• Validation of standards and prototypes through interoperability events

http://www.etsi.org/plugtests

Testing and interoperability

22

We believe it is about dosage

What/when to standardize to meet players’ strategies?

Need for standards/interoperability when heterogeneous systems are converging (e.g FMC, Telecoms/broadcast/IT)

Market differentiation standard bodies shouldn’t be over religious with interoperability

An interesting case interoperability strategies of IM players entering the “telecom” market…and vice versa - see announcements at 3GSM (“15 cellcos take mobile IM interoperability pledge”)

23

Last but not least, it’s minding other variables of the equation

Competition/competitiveness Global standards/regional blocks EU policy making (incl. spectrum, competition, etc) Impact of OSS IPRs in standards etc “It’s not peace we’re seeking, it’s meaning”

Ears to the ground Members driven changes

ETSI + TETRA

30

ETSI success story – TETRA

TETRA IS AN OPEN DIGITAL TRUNKED RADIO STANDARDDEFINED BY ETSI TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THEMOST DEMANDING PROFESSIONAL MOBILE RADIO USERS

TETRA HAS REACHED GREAT ACCEPTANCE IN THE WORLD AND IS WIDELY ESTABLISHED

is one of ETSI’s « best-sellers » not only in Europe

31

Close cooperation with TETRA MoU Association in early 2000s resulted in an agreed plan for enhancing TETRA standard

After significant market changes and prioritisation the main deliverables of TETRA Release 2 are: Wideband Data TEDS (TETRA Enhanced Data Service) AMR Codec Air Interface Enhancements, incl. Long range ‘Air-to-Ground’ Location Information Protocol (LIP) Application

TETRA Release 2

32

TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS)

The TEDS standard has been driven by User Requirements

TEDS is a new data service fully integrated with existing TETRA networks

The TEDS standard provides high speed data and multimedia service capabilities

Utilize new technologies

Increase futureproofness of TETRA as the standard for PMR and PAMR worldwide

33

The TEDS Standard is completed

The TETRA Release 2 programme has taken into account market changes that have taken place after its launch

TC TETRA has positioned itself to be the body engaged in the continuous enhancement of TETRA beyond Release 2

TETRA STANDARD TODAY AND TOMORROW
