TCCA and 3GPP announce Melbourne event

TCCA’s Australasian Critical Communications Forum (ACCF) and 3GPP have announced a one-day event, where the latter will “brief executive level representatives of Australian and New Zealand governments, academia, and industry on the important role performed by 3GPP in the development and maintenance of open standards.”

The event – which is titled '3GPP-TCCA leading global mobile standards-connection is the lifeline’ –, will take place in Melbourne, Australia, on September 17th. 

According to a statement, the briefing will focus on the importance of open standards to: “Support global operational communication technologies and capabilities for specific business and mission critical sectors of the communications market.

“[And to] provide a path to a connected society via LTE, 5G and 6G specification to meet a futuristic set of use cases. By specifically evolving broadband access, meeting the need of machine type communications and by providing secure, trusted, ultra-reliable and low latency connectivity.”

The statement continued: “We are pleased to have the 3GPP, ETSI and TCCA leadership teams in Melbourne. [It will be a great] opportunity to hear directly about the current status and strategic direction for 3GPP systems through evolving generational features for a growing number of user communities. 

“Solid progress on key topics such as mission critical voice, data and video, future rail mobile communication systems and off-network capabilities will be reported. [This will be] alongside details of the 3GPP plan for 5G, 5G Advanced and future 6G work.”
