The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released an interagency report on Advanced Communication Technologies Standards, outlining the priorities and activities of 18 federal agencies involved in communications technologies. The report aims to promote effective and consistent federal policies in communications standards, identify shared goals and priorities, and respond to requests for information on federal communications standards activities.
The report focuses on strategic priority areas including the Internet of Things, security and privacy for communications, quality assurance for critical infrastructure communications, and emerging technologies such as quantum communications. Federal agencies are working with industry to identify key standards gaps and opportunities in each strategic priority area, with the goal of advancing standards that promote innovation and enable next-generation communications that catalyze progress across all sectors of society.
