CCSA and ETSI have renewed their Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen technical alignment on global ICT standards, particularly in Critical Communications and Network and Information Security. Both organizations remain key partners in 3GPP for 3G and 4G LTE development and serve as founding partners in the oneM2M initiative for Machine to Machine Communications. The agreement establishes formal communication channels to allow industry participants in either organization to access standards-related information, thereby reducing technical barriers to market entry. This renewed collaboration builds on over a decade of successful joint work to support the development of converged ICT standards with worldwide impact.
