3rd Generation Partnership Project
A collaborative organization that plays a crucial role in shaping global standards for mobile telecommunications systems. Established in 1998, 3GPP consists of multiple telecommunications standard development organizations from around the world, working together to create specifications and standards for the evolution of mobile communication technologies. These standards encompass a wide range of aspects in the telephony domain, including network architecture, protocols, and radio access technologies, to ensure interoperability and the successful deployment of advanced mobile communication systems such as 4G LTE and 5G. 3GPP’s work is pivotal in enabling seamless communication across diverse networks and devices, driving the continuous advancement of mobile telephony.
