3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project)

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is an international collaboration of telecommunications organizations that develops and maintains standards for mobile communication systems. Founded in 1998, it plays a key role in creating the technical specifications for various mobile technologies, including 3G, 4G, and the latest 5G networks. By setting these standards, 3GPP ensures that devices from different manufacturers can communicate effectively, enhancing global connectivity and improving mobile services. Its work is essential for the ongoing evolution of mobile communication, impacting everything from smartphones to the Internet of Things (IoT).
