2. ETSI ? We are the… European Telecommunications Standards Institute 2

3. ETSI A European standards organization Active in all areas of ICT Setting globally-applicable standards for telecommunications radiocommunications broadcasting related topics Independent, not-for-profit organization, created in 1988 ISO 9001:2000 certified Offering direct participation 740 Member companies and organisations We have more than 25 000 publications - freely available! 3 http://www.etsi.org http://portal.etsi.org

4. ETSIs Vision ETSI is the leading standardization organization for high quality and innovative Information and Communication Technology (ICT) standards fulfilling the various global and European market needs 4 ETSI Strategy 2010

5. ETSIs Mission To deliver world class standards for Information and Communication Technology (ICT), including telecommunications, for systems and services by using and providing state of the art methodology and processes 5 ETSI Strategy 2010

6. ETSI is not … a REGULATORY body, but… we provide technical specifications to support regulation a CERTIFICATION body, but… we provide specifications and other tools to assist certification a FREQUENCY ALLOCATION body, but… we collect, co-ordinate and contribute frequency requirements for the ICT community part of the European Commission, nor part of CEPT, but… we work closely with these and many other organisations 6

7. In the days before ETSI… European telecoms standardisation was done by CEPT Participation was by Administrations (Ministries of PTT etc) Administrations usually invited the assistance of their national network operators In most cases, there was only one operator per country Industry and the European Commission had no voice… …and were NOT HAPPY ! 7

8. MoU on European telecoms standards - 1986 Directive 86/361/EEC – Mutual recognition of type approval for telecoms terminals 8 CEPT 26 European countries MoU signatories 17 European countries EC 12 TRAC + Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Norway Core of European Telecoms Standardisation EC 12 countries Legal framework for standards, NETs, type approval, test laboratories Source: EC 1987

16. ETSI – a European Standards Organization ETSI was conceived in the late 1980s to respond to particular needs in Europe and in support of European Commission ambitions ETSI continues to produce standards for European industry… …and we produce standards and other material to support European Union and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) regulation and legislation… …for which we are officially recognised at EU/EFTA and governmental levels… …as well as contributing ICT radio frequency requirements to the European co-ordination process ETSI was conceived in the late 1980s to respond to particular needs in Europe and in support of European Commission ambitions ETSI continues to produce standards for European industry… …and we produce standards and other material to support European Union and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) regulation and legislation… …for which we are officially recognised at EU/EFTA and governmental levels… …as well as contributing ICT radio frequency requirements to the European co-ordination process 16

17. ETSI – a global standards producer ETSI was established as a European body and retains European responsibilities. But… …many of ETSIs Members are global players… …so ETSI seeks to have its standards adopted worldwide Over 120 of ETSIs Members (about 20% of the total) have no established operations in Europe Many of the other 80% are headquartered outside Europe 17

18. ETSI – a global standards producer Remember GSM ? Developed (by ETSI) for Europe, now a worldwide success story! Over 3.8 billion users in over 200 countries 1.3 million new users EVERY DAY! (and thats just GSM!) ETSIs Lawful Interception handover standard Being deployed in Europe… But also in USA and Australia, where the laws are being developed to comply with the ETSI Standard DECT – Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications Originally Digital European Cordless Telecommunications Over 800 million terminals in more than 110 countries DVB system specifications Based on DVB Project proposals Services available on every continent TETRA Contracts in 117 countries Radio microphones and cordless audio equipment Global agreement on common standards 18 Just some examples…

19. ETSI – a Service Provider In addition to standards-making, ETSI provides a range of supporting services, notably… Creation of test specifications and methodologies Test methodology & development, Interoperability testing (Interopolis and Plugtests) Forum hosting (Forapolis) In addition to standards-making, ETSI provides a range of supporting services, notably… Creation of test specifications and methodologies Test methodology & development, Interoperability testing (Interopolis and Plugtests) Forum hosting (Forapolis) 19
