History and Key Characteristics

2

Founded by leading international mobile network operators in 2006

“Objective to ensure that functionality and performance of next generation mobile network infrastructure, service platforms and devices will meet the requirements of

operators and, ultimately, will satisfy end user demand and expectations.”

� Well-established global partnership – Operators, Telco & IT vendors, Research Institutes, Co-operations with International Industry Associations

� Open to new Players - Internet & Media, Vertical Industries, Service Providers

� Business driven - focus on customer and end-user demand

� Global alignment – objective to avoid fragmentation and to guarantee industry scale

� Focus on innovation – covering end-to-end system aspects

� Working on requirements level – standards are being developed by SDOs

� Based on Partner contributions – projects are staffed by NGMN Partner companies

� Comprehensive Communication - White Papers, Liaison Statements, NGMN Industry Conferences to publish results, requirements, solutions, and guidelines

� Decision-oriented governance and lean organisation structure – operator-driven approach, project-oriented approach and efficient processes
