Millimeter wave as

defined in mWT ISG

ETSI mWT ISG aims to be a worldwide initiative with global reach to facilitate the use of:

the V-band (57-66GHz)

the E-band (71-76 & 81-86GHz)

and higher frequency bands up to 300 GHz

for large volume applications in the backhaul/fronthaul to support mobile network implementation, WLL and any other service benefitting from high-speed wireless transmission

mWT ISG (millimetre Wave Transmission Industry Specification Group)

ETSI mWT ISG Activities

11


Current/future regulations & licensing schemes for the use of suitable spectrum

Putting in communication the whole industry chain to share and circulate public information regarding the applications in field in order to favor faster and more effective decisions on investments needed to provide new technologies, features and equipment

Influencing standards for the deployment of the products

Enhancing the confidence of all stakeholders and the general public in the use of millimeter-wave technologies

January 2015

• Kick-Off Plenary Meeting

June 2015

• Publication of WI3white paper

August 2015

• Publication of WI2 & WI6 GS papers

September 2015

• Publication of WI1 white paper

Technology innovation & network (r)evolution are needed to address

requirements of future usage scenarios efficiently

ETSI activities & deliverables are of paramount importance to

promote innovation, whilst ensure the targeted performance,

interoperability, safety, reliability and business goals

Having recognized the above benefits, COSMOTE activities/projects

are in-line with the ETSI standardization deliverables
