The AISG Group (Antenna Interface Standards Group), based in England, decided to approve a new standard for AISG connectors in 2015. In the past, many defects were detected in installations due to the random use of products.

ITU Members have created a new ITU-T Study Group that will study the standardization needs of Internet of Things technologies, initially focusing on IoT applications in smart cities.

KEYMILE subsidiary HYTEC has expanded the LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and is presenting this innovation at the IEEE International Conference on Communications, held from June 8-12, 2015, in London. LLDP facilitates the detection of errors, such as those related to the type of energy used by power stations.

The ITU has established a Thematic Group tasked with identifying network standardization needs for the development of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) 5G networks by 2020 and beyond. Network studies will be conducted by the ITU Standardization Sector (ITU-T), leveraging its expertise in wired communications standardization.

ZTE Corporation has proposed a research project on Multicarrier Load Distribution (MCLD) of user equipment in LTE. The research project, led by ZTE in collaboration with China Telecom, Verizon, and other operators, aims to enable idle user equipment (UE) to be distributed evenly across multiple LTE cells (including heterogeneous network cells) to improve the performance and operational efficiency of LTE networks.

The ITU and the European Telecommunication Standardization Institute (ETSI) have agreed on a new standard to measure the energy efficiency of mobile radio access networks (RANs), which are the wireless networks that connect end-user equipment to the backbone network.

LTE-based broadband trunking communication (B-TrunC) has become China's first standard to be accepted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as an international air interface standard for broadband trunking for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR).

The ZigBee® Alliance, a non-profit association of organizations that create open, global standards defining the Internet of Things for use in consumer, commercial, and industrial applications, has announced the unification of its market-leading wireless standards into a single standard called ZigBee 3.0.
