BRIDGING THE STANDARDIZATION GAP
Conformance and Interoperability
To ensure their interoperability, products of different vendors must undergo conformity testing to standards
Interoperability is part of the mission of ITU: ITU-T Conformity Database
Conformity to ITU standards significantly increase the probability of interoperability of tested equipment, services and systems
