Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions

ATIS and the O-RAN ALLIANCE today announced the joint signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that enables the transposition of O-RAN ALLIANCE specifications to ATIS standards. The MoU establishes a joint process to identify O-RAN specifications for adoption by ATIS. This transposition is a major step toward advancing the adoption of Open Radio Access Network (RAN) in North America, by giving O-RAN ALLIANCE specifications the benefit of recognition by ATIS, an accredited standards body with broad membership from North American industry. It furthers both organizations’ mutual objectives to advance the industry towards more intelligent, open, virtualized and global standards-compliant mobile networks. leverage the latest technical and architectural advances. https://lnkd.in/exYiUkj4 #RAN #RadioAccessNetwork #OpenRAN  #ORANALLIANCE #innovation #telecom

An important MoU that enables the transposition of O-RAN ALLIANCE specifications to ATIS standards.

This is an awesome development and provides a direct path for O-RAN standards into ATIS and subsequently into 3GPP. Much like the EU and ETSI were the conduit for SDN/NFV tech that formed the foundation of the 5G core, this further cements O-RAN as the foundation for future RAN development.

Help Set the Language and Acronyms the ICT Industry Depends On for Doing Business: Join ATIS Today! ATIS is the ICT industry’s go-to organization when it comes to maintaining the Telecom Glossary. This resource of acronyms and definitions provides a uniform and up-to-date set of acronyms and definitions for the general terminology used in the communications industry. ATIS Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC) is responsible for maintaining the glossary and welcomes input from participants to consider the inclusion of new and updated terms, as well as to remove obsolete or outdated terms. If your company is interested in being part of this work, join PTSC today. Contact Rich Moran, ATIS Membership Director rmoran@atis.org to join. hashtag #ICT #Telecommunications https://glossary.atis.org/

ATIS Welcomes Jaydee Griffith as Managing Director of its Next G Alliance, David Young as Vice President of Technology Policy and Government Relations   ATIS today announced that Jaydee Griffith has joined the organization as the new Managing Director of the Next G Alliance, which is building the foundation for North American leadership in #6G and beyond. In tandem with Griffith’s new NGA role, David Young will assume the position of Vice President of Technology #Policy and Government Relations. ATIS welcomes Jaydee and David to their new roles and looks forward to their contributions to advance our members’ technical and policy objectives. https://lnkd.in/e45S3gG2

Today, the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions Next G Alliance released a new report on a study of #6G communication channels and Joint Communication and Sensing (#JCAS)/Integrated Sensing and Communication (#ISAC) channel models. Derived from extensive measurements performed by NGA members, the report includes multiple sensing target models and an indoor background clutter model for monostatic sensing.

ATIS’ Next G Alliance Maps the 6G Opportunities Inherent in JCAS/ICAS ATIS’ Next G Alliance (NGA) today announced publication of Channel Measurements and Modeling for Joint/Integrated Communication and Sensing, as well as 7-24 GHz Communication, a study of #6G #communication channels and joint communication and sensing (JCAS)/integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) channel models. Midbands, #mmWave, and sub-THz #spectrum bands are also covered in the report. https://lnkd.in/dypbJcJi

Be Part of the Expert Industry Team Developing Standards for Streamlining the Receiving, Shipping, Transportation, and Tracing of Telecom Packages ATIS Automatic Identification & Data Capture Committee (AIDC) https://lnkd.in/efqNAaJQ is seeking industry input in its discussion on the Implementation Guide to Package Labeling. (https://lnkd.in/ebfj6Xbc) This document is being revised to include details such as the various label types found on packaging, which includes expected labeling for anti-static bags. AIDC values having a diverse range of perspectives to make this standard most beneficial to the industry. The Committee is encouraging participation from all sectors of the industry to make this a quality standard. If this work is of interest to you, please contact us at aws_admin@atis.org and consider becoming an ATIS member (https://lnkd.in/efqNAaJQ).

This article from The New York Times touches on themes frequently discussed at our annual Workshop for Synchronization and Timing Services (WSTS). Our past events have featured industry experts addressing GPS vulnerability in presentations such as: • "Precise Timing Network, a GPS/GNSS Independent Synchronization Network for Telcos" • "Horizon-Nulling GPS/GNSS Antenna Technology to Minimize Jamming and Spoofing Threats" • "How to Quickly Retrofit At-Risk GPS/GNSS Sites with a Resilient PNT Solution at a Fraction of the Cost" • "The Effects of GPS Interference and Jamming on GPS Timing Receivers" • "Detecting GPS Outages Nationwide Using the MBS Network" • "Over-Reliance on the GPS System with Implications to PNT" by the Chief of Strategic Defense Initiatives at DHS You can explore these presentations and find information about next year's workshop at wsts.atis.org. Stay informed and join us in addressing these critical issues.
