ETSI, TIA launch public-safety standards project

WASHINGTON-The European Telecommunications Standards Institute and the Telecommunications Industry Association launched a new partnership project to address the standardization needs of public-safety users both in North America and Europe.

According to the organizations, the Public Safety Partnership Project will prepare, approve and maintain the necessary set of technical specifications and technical reports for the first phase of Public Safety Mobile Broadband Specifications. The partnership will also allow a partnership role for Public Safety Partners to reflect user requirements.

“This new partnership project is being started early in the process before standards or technologies have been chosen,” said Karl Rosenbrock, director-general of ETSI. “We will initially work on a well-documented set of user requirements and then use the partnership model to create specifications and standards to address those needs.”
