Standards Tracker Online Tool

5G Standardisation for Industry Verticals

5G is bringing benefits to many industry verticals, spanning automotive, broadcasting and media, energy and utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, maritime, mining, and public safety. It can also enable new applications by integrating satellites and taking rural connectivity to new places. Investments in 5G should go hand in hand with inputs to the standards development process to ensure end-user requirements are properly met and the capabilities, interfaces, and performance characteristics they need are accounted for.

An online collaboration tool for industry and standards specialists

This may sound like a daunting task for many verticals with little or no experience working with a community of telecom industry specialists. This is where this Standards Tracker comes into play as a collaboration platform helping to lower entry barriers for verticals. It is designed to help specialists from industry verticals navigate the various and often complex processes and stages, define technical requirements and maximise impacts with their available resources. It also guides standards specialists in embracing newcomers to create a bigger, more diverse community with potentially high impacts through mutual support. 

Its focus, for now, is on 5G standardisation work within 3GPP as a leader in supporting vertical industries and the roles played by associations like the 5G Infrastructure Association, 5G Automotive Association, 5G Alliance for Connected Industry and Automation and Public Safety Communication Europe. As the 5G standards landscape continues to evolve, so will the tool. This version will keep you updated with the latest developments in 5G technologies. In addition, a new version of the standard tracker will be released as part of the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), incorporating arising discussions and future roadmaps around standardisation processes linked to emerging 6G technologies.  

If you are interested in joining this work as an industry vertical, association, regulator or policy maker, please get in touch with Claudio de Majo (c.demajo@trust-itservices.com), Trust-IT Services.

How to use the tool and join in:

  • Latest Updates: Track progress on 5G standardisation and industry verticals, including initiatives from leading vertical associations and activities in the 5G-IA Pre-Standardization WG. 
  • Events: Find the right event for your needs, including webinars on specific industry verticals and/or on how to contribute to 3GPP. 
  • Practical Guides: Learn how to contribute to 3GPP with our practical tips from verticals and standards specialists, including support services especially designed for verticals.
  • 3GPP Working Groups: Get an understanding of the main activities in the various working groups of 3GPP.
  • Technical Requirements Tracking: Consult the technical viewpoints across diverse vertical industries. Bring your own viewpoints. 
  • Common Requirement Mapping: See how many topics under 5G standardisation are relevant across a wide range of industry verticals. Bring your own contributions to this mapping exercise.
  • 3GPP Plenary Progress: Track ongoing study and work items in 3GPP through our Plenary Debriefs, helping to pinpoint opportunities for contributions and/or support gap analysis. Much of this work is done by Hans van der Veen, NEC Europe, on the RAN side Riccardo Trivisonno, Huawei (Germany), on the SA side, whom we thank for their valued inputs.

 

Analysis of  the potential impacts of advances in connected-health technologies enabled by 5G, building on improvements in collaboration and communications tools as well as new care-delivery models. 

Connected health comes with a variety of use cases bringing a wide range of improvements for patients, doctors and care givers, with significant impacts for society. Collectively, these use cases could hush in new business opportunities, new jobs and more cost-effective health and care services. The floor is open to specialists in the sector and the telecommunication industry willing to take up the challenges.

Meetings and Events

By joining forces, industry verticals can work out ways to optimise spectrum usage, such as combining different technologies and frequency bands, including the use of multicast and broadcast technologies. Optimised spectrum usage must also focus on sustainable approaches, including coverage of the entire population, spanning mobiles and vertical use cases.
