ETSI is pleased to endorse the Virtual Forum organized by RCR Wireless on 9 September 2025, dedicated to NTN - Network Convergence for Enhanced Coverage and Resilience.

As 5G matures and the path to 6G takes shape, non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are becoming essential to extending connectivity, enhancing resilience, and enabling global service coverage. The NTN Forum brings together thought leaders to explore the real-world deployment of NTNs, the evolution of 3GPP standards, and the software-defined architectures powering this next generation of hybrid networks.

Featured Speaker: Nicolas Chuberre, vice chair of ETSI SES technical group will share unique perspectives and insights. Do not miss the session:

Event type: Interoperability Events

ETSI, with the support of the ETSI TC MSG (Mobile Standards Group), TC EMTEL (Emergency Telecommunications) and EENA (The European Emergency Number Association), is organizing the NG (Next Generation) eCall Plugtests 2025 event, which will take place from 10^th to 13^th of June 2025 in Bonn, Germany. This event will be hosted by Deutsche Telekom.

Recent amendments of Delegated Regulations (EU) No 305/2013 and (EU) 2015/758 require deployment of NG eCall equipment from 1^st of January 2026. This event will allow to verify the interoperability of the different components that constitute the European Next Generation Emergency Communication architecture.

The NG eCall testing event aims at increasing the level of interoperability between IVS (In-Vehicle System) and PSAP (Public Service Answering Point) to provide the NG eCall service via a packet switched wireless communications network using IMS (Internet protocol Multimedia System) and 4/5G wireless access. 

Testing will focus on interoperability of the Next Generation eCall over 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) between the In-Vehicle Systems (IVS) and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP), supporting the Next Generation eCall. 

Testing will be based on the ETSI TS 103 683 (NG eCall: HLAP Interoperability Testing). NG eCall conformance tests, based on EN 17240:2024, as well as other testing activities can be provided by participating companies to complement the interoperability tests.

The event will allow to run interoperability testing for advanced emergency services scenarios, giving the priority to provide ‘real’ infrastructure from European Mobile Network Operators, especially an actual 4G network instead of a simulated one. It will help enrich the testing by bringing real use case scenario and move on to the next steps for vendors to deploy the next generation of a European Emergency Services network. This is why Deutsche Telekom will host the event and provide a real mobile network infrastructure for the testing.

In Vehicle System (IVS) and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) vendors are invited to join the event. The NG eCall Plugtests 2025 event offers the opportunity for vendors to run interoperability test sessions using predefined test descriptions.

This activity is co-funded by the European Commission and the EFTA.

ETSI is pleased to support the DSP Leaders World Forum, returning to iconic Royal Windsor on 3-4 June 2025, and bringing together industry visionaries, innovators and decision-makers to explore how CSPs, together with their ecosystem partners, are modernising networks to enable the provision of new services and innovations for their customers.

This year’s forum will spotlight the challenges and opportunities of designing and implementing customer-centric networks that empower business customers with the services they need to accelerate their own digital transformation.

Join ETSI on Day 2 at 2:40 PM (local time) as Ultan Mulligan, ETSI’s Chief Services Officer, takes the stage in Session 10 – The Market Perspective: Transportation & Logistics. Don’t miss the dynamic panel discussion on Reducing the Complexities of Large-Scale, Multi-Domain Solutions.
The transportation and logistics sector requires a mix of connectivity solutions, from high throughput, ultra-reliable and low-latency wireless, to low-power WAN (LPWAN) for sensor-based monitoring. Deployments are usually across large and often remote areas and meeting these stringent requirements takes significant investment in technology and time. How can telcos move from bespoke solutions to adopt a more scalable approach? Can they provide tailored and flexible solutions that can adapt to these challenging environments?
