ATIS, a leading global standards and solutions development organization for the ICT industry and the North American partner to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and 4G Americas, a wireless industry trade association representing LTE mobile broadband technologies including LTE-Advanced and beyond to 5G, today announced their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The agreement’s goal is to facilitate alignment of the organizations’ common technological and policy efforts in the field of mobile broadband communication.
 
 

Signed by ATIS President and CEO Susan Miller and 4G Americas President, Chris Pearson, the MoU outlines the terms for knowledge-sharing and exploring opportunities to work together on topics of importance to the wireless industry. These include the evolution to 5G, wireless emergency alerting, text to 9-1-1, mobile device theft prevention and network functions virtualization/software-defined networking.
 
 

“This agreement reflects a shared vision of key industry initiatives.  Collaboration is central to ATIS’ model of bringing the ICT industry together to achieve strategic business and technical imperatives,” said ATIS President and CEO Susan Miller. “I am extremely confident that our alignment with 4G Americas will increase the momentum to advance the network toward its 5G future, help identify smartphones reported stolen, accelerate the delivery of critical emergency communications and more.”
 
Chris Pearson, President of 4G Americas stated, “As the mobile broadband industry progresses at a rapid pace toward 5G and NFV solutions, it is becoming increasingly important to cooperate with other major associations regarding critical common areas of interest to ensure there is no technical fragmentation. 4G Americas is committed to advocating for the advancement and full capabilities of the 3GPP technologies and their evolution to 5G to transform connectivity in our society. As a leading association for the Americas region on 5G, 4G Americas looks forward to working with ATIS on important issues and opportunities facing the industry.”
