ATIS and other major standards development organizations – ARIB, CCSA, ETSI, TIA, TTA, and TTC – have taken initial steps to form a global initiative for M2M Standardization. The SDOs have identified the need for a common cost-efficient, easily and widely available M2M Service Layer that can be readily embedded within various hardware and software, and have identified the need for a cooperative M2M community standards activity. This initiative will seek to develop global M2M specifications and reports with initial focus on the Service Layer using common use cases and architecture principles across multiple M2M applications.

ATIS has recommended IP Relay as an interim solution for texting to 9-1-1 communications while longer-term NG9-1-1 solutions are being developed. This recommendation was made in comments to the FCC presenting findings of ATIS’ Interim Non-Voice Emergency Services Incubator (INES). The INES is a proactive, industry-driven group addressing the need for an interim solution to replace TTY for wireless emergency communications for persons with disabilities. Its recommendation is based on collaboration among industry members and critical stakeholders including public safety agencies and the accessibility community. Learn more.
ATIS recently launched an initiative to validate the concept of inter-provider, multi-platform telepresence services and develop use-case studies surrounding the technology that encompasses high-quality videoconferencing. The work of ATIS’ Cloud Services Forum and targeted for completion in first-quarter 2012, participants in this effort include leading communications providers and equipment manufacturers. ATIS’ work will ensure that connecting high-quality telepresence sessions is as simple as making a phone call. Learn more.
 ATIS Issues Major Network Optimization Recommendations
To help alleviate the growing demand for bandwidth, the ATIS Network Optimization Focus Group released a report that contains major recommendations for helping networks become more efficient at handling traffic growth while maintaining a high quality of experience for end-users. Specific network optimization actions may impact how and when traffic is routed, policed, shaped and prioritized, and may include employing optimization functions such as caching, TCP optimization, signaling proxies, video rate adaptation/compression, or buffer management techniques.

ATIS Launches Focus Group to Address Opportunities in the Emerging M2M Field
ATIS launched the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Focus Group to analyze seizing core opportunities through standards work for communications solutions as they pertain to M2M as well as Smart Grid and the connected vehicle. An initiative of ATIS’ Technology and Operations Council, The focus group will work on several use cases that involve vehicle data, smart electric meters and other information to assess standards issues.
