TC ATTM

Operational and physical parts of ICT networks, equipment and sites including cabling, radio links, signal transmission and regulatory aspects; tools for ensuring energy efficient ICT services and devices.

ETSI’s Technical Committee ATTM is responsible for the standardisation of access, terminals, transmission and multiplexing. This includes cabling, radio links, installations, signal transmission and other forms of signal treatment up to digitalisation, in the private and public domains. The focus of our work is on specific technology, equipment, installations and regulatory aspects of the physical layer.

Key areas of work

Infrastructure, physical networks and communication systems

Cabling, installations, communications systems and network services implementation.

Sustainable Digital Multiservice Communities

ICT systems and implementation of services within cities and communities. Building Information Modelling (interoperability format with applications for connected buildings).

Point-to-point and multipoint radio systems in the fixed service

  • Core and access networks, including mobile service backhauling.
  • European Standards and accompanying Harmonised European Standards in response to Mandate M/536 under the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU).

Metallic access networks

Metallic Metallic support transmission systems and the reuse of existing infrastructure, including power line transmission.  transmission systems and the reuse of existing infrastructure, including power line transmission. 

Fixed radio services

Radio Regulations (1.20) fixed radio service, terrestrial radiocommunication service between specified fixed points. 

  • What we do

    TC ATTM focuses on the “green” needs of operational networks and sites and broadband transmission. The committee develops tools for ICT users to monitor deployment of sustainable smart cities and the sustainable efficiency – including eco-efficiency and energy management – of their sites and networks. This also offers the means of implementing efficient broadband systems and physical networks.
