Consort Digital has joined ETSI – a global organization for development of global ICT standards. ETSI counts more than 900 member organizations worldwide, drawn from 65 countries and five continents.

ETSI has delivered truly global standards such as TETRA, DMR, LTE, MCX among others and continues to shape tomorrow’s technologies and create new markets.  The decision to join ETSI will help Consort Digital gain decision power in standardization, shape European and global standards and contribute its requirements and bring them into technical specifications. Networking opportunities at ETSI will help Consort Digital be part of community of innovators around the globe and have early access to the insights of emerging standards relevant especially to the upcoming broadband mission critical standards and contribute towards their development.

As a start, Consort Digital will actively participate in the various activities conducted by ETSI and 3GPP in reference to the Working Group (WG) – SA 6 for Mission critical applications. ETSI along with 3GPP lead the development of future releases of the mobile broadband standards such as 4G, 5G, 5GNR.

” It is crucial for us to be on the forefront of development of mission critical technologies by utilizing our knowledge of this niche segment along with advancement in scale and execution of latest software engineering for our customers. Consort Digital will invest its way into the future by developing innovative solutions that help our customers transition into the next generation of mission critical networks and joining ETSI is a key step to this journey.” says Rajiv Mangla, Chief Technology Officer, Consort Digital.
