ETSI has released White Paper 45, the ETSI Technology Radar, to identify and analyze probable technology trends that could shape future ICT standardization efforts. The document highlights key areas including 5G evolution, artificial intelligence, autonomous networks, cybersecurity, blockchain, and quantum computing, while assessing their alignment with ETSI’s current work. It provides potential timescales for technology evolution and offers recommendations on how to activate standardization processes for these emerging fields. This forward-looking initiative aims to position ETSI as a significant player in the evolving global standards landscape.
