The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) have renewed their memorandum of understanding (MOU).
This agreement continues the long-standing cooperation between IEEE-SA and ETSI, fosters collaboration between the two organisations, and further promotes mutual interests through global standards coordination.
To formally acknowledge the alliance, Luis Jorge Romero, director-general of ETSI, and Konstantinos Karachalios, managing director for IEEE-SA, gathered with members of the Institute for a signing ceremony during the 60th ETSI General Assembly in Mandelieu, France on November 13, 2012. During the ceremony, the two organisations acknowledged the need for IEEE-SA and ETSI to work closely together on coordinated standards to avoid duplicated work and align under a mutually beneficial framework.
