South Korea and European Standards Groups Sign MoU
The original MoU between TTA, the Korean ICT standardization association, and ETSI was established in 1992
The Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) of South Korea and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) renewed their memorandum of understanding (MoU). This renewal will see the two standards development organizations continue to share their work and expertise to contribute to the development of globally applicable standards for information and communications technologies (ICT).
The original MoU between TTA, the Korean ICT standardization association, and ETSI was established in 1992 as a commitment by the two organizations to support the common development of open and harmonized ICT standards. The agreement was last renewed in 2005.
TTA and ETSI have many common areas of work and where specifications and standards development come together. The agreement ensures a high level of alignment between the two organizations and their respective regions. The groups specifically plan to work together on intelligent transportation systems (ITS), machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and digital multimedia broadcasting.
“While reviewing the text of the MoU, TTA recognized that ETSI and TTA are covering more areas where there is scope for cooperation, including mobile communications aspects such as IMT-Advanced and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and next-generation networks such as M2M, ITS, cloud computing and TETRA. I believe these areas are essential for both organizations and certainly ones where we can be the international standardization leaders,” said Keun Hyeob Lee, TTA president.
The partnership will also enable the two organizations to exchange information about each other’s work programs and to better coordinate their future endeavors.
