Page 18 - A Year of Impact - Advancing sustainable digital transformation with ITU standards in 2024

Cooperation with OASC

ITU has also embarked on a new collaboration with the Open & Agile Smart
Cities (OASC) network, with a specific focus on implementing
Recommendations ITU-T Y.4505 on Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms
(MIMs) in cities. By aligning efforts, ITU and OASC aim to accelerate the
adoption of standardized frameworks for interoperability, ensuring that cities
can scale their digital transformation initiatives efficiently while fostering an
open ecosystem that benefits inhabitants and urban communities globally.

Collaboration with oneM2M

ITU and oneM2M collaborate on the development and adoption of IoT
standards. oneM2M developed a set of technical specifications for a common
M2M service layer that can be readily embedded within various hardware and
software, and relied upon to connect the myriad of devices in the field with
M2M application servers worldwide. These technical specifications have been
transposed into ITU-T Recommendations (Y.4500 series) to avoid market
fragmentation and duplication of standardization efforts.

Collaboration with LoRa Alliance

ITU and LoRa Alliance have joined forces to develop vital international
standards recognized by the low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN)
community for IoT. This collaboration grows the agenda forward for the
industry and accelerates digital transformation across economies. Buildings
these synergies among standardization efforts to better support the Internet
of Things and smart cities and communities. The technical specification from
LoRa (LoRaWAN® 1.0.4 Specification) has been transposed into
Recommendation ITU-T Y.4480 “Low power protocol for
wide area wireless networks”.
