ETSI’s flagship annual event on cybersecurity took place virtually on 14-18 June 2021.

The virtual ETSI Security Week 2021 allowed for even more diverse participation from around the world. It gathered all stakeholders to debate five important aspects of cybersecurity: 

It was a unique opportunity where the security community came together in ETSI virtual world to network, share, influence and learn during this week of events!

Event type: Interoperability Events

ETSI Centre for Testing and Interoperability (CTI) is organizing a remote Plugtests interoperability event on Registered Electronic Mail (REM) standard. Originally planned to run remotely from 31 May to 18 June 2021 using a testing infrastructure and a dedicated portal, this event was extended upon participants' request until 16 July 2021. The participation is free of charge.

Scope

Registered Electronic Email service provides secure and reliable delivery of emails between parties, producing evidence of the delivery process for legal accountability. Evidence can be seen as a declaration by a trusted party that a specific event related to the delivery happened at a certain time. Evidence can be immediately delivered to the interested party or can be kept in a repository for later access.

The scope of the event is to check the interoperability of REM services by verifying Secure Electronic Mail service exchange and the ability to generate trusted electronic evidence attesting that certain relevant events have occurred. The goal is to ensure maximal interoperability in cross-REM interoperability domain and, specifically, in cross-border use of REM services.

The interoperability testing will allow participants to test their REM services, including the new REM Baseline, according to the following standards:

The Draft ETSI EN 319 532-4 is available here.

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability and the OSM community organise the OSM#11 Hackfest from 31 May to 04 June 2021. The event will be run remotely, allowing participants to join the hands-on sessions from home.

The OSM#11 Hackfest will be followed by the OSM#11 Plenary the week after.

The OSM#11 Hackfest will be fully dedicated to Network Functions packaging and onboarding to OSM Release NINE, bringing a brand-new challenge to OSM users and developers.

During the Hackfest kick-off, an overview on NF Onboarding in OSM will be provided by OSM community experts. Participants will be organized in teams based on the Network Function selected at the time of registration. Through the Hackfest week and with the mentoring of OSM community experts, they will be challenged to build a package, including NFV standardized descriptors, instantiation, Day-1 and Day-2 operations, for the NF of their choice. The last day, each team will have the opportunity to demonstrate their achievements and the best onboarding demonstration will be awarded!

In March, the TSG RAN leadership elections concluded with the appointment of Wanshi Chen as Chair for the next two years. In this first interview with him, Wanshi will outline some of his priorities for the new term and update you on the latest status of Release 17 radio specifications and on TSG RAN’s latest thinking on the process that will lead to the agreement of the content of the Release 18 package of features, that will become the priority once Release 17 is completed by mid-2022.

Adrian Scrase, ETSI CTO and the Head of 3GPP Mobile Competence Centre, will introduce our speaker and will spend time in conversation with Wanshi Chen, about his highly successful period as the RAN Working Group 1 Chair, about his new appointment to the TSG RAN Chair and about the prospects for a return to physical meetings later in 2021.

Presented by: Wanshi Chen, Qualcomm and 3GPP TSG RAN Chair, Adrian Scrase, ETSI CTO and Head of 3GPP MCC

ETSI, TTA and Sejong University are pleased to invite you to participate in the virtual “Intelligent IoT oneM2M Hackathon”, from 27th April to 18th May, 2021 .

This activity is supported by  KETI (Korea Electronics Technology Institute), oneM2M and the InDiCo Project, a project funded by the European Union and coordinated by ETSI, and is co-hosted by the Sejong University Training Program for Intelligent Drones (BK21 Center) and  the Autonomous Intelligent Unmanned Flying Vehicles Institute.

A short tutorial will take place on the first day in order to introduce the oneM2M standard and different open-source implementations, followed by the actual hackathon.

This competition is aimed at students regardless of the field of their training as well as staff from local start-ups. It is mainly intended for engineering students, but it can also be extended to students of other fields.
Participation can take place on an individual basis or as teams of 4 persons (multi-disciplinary teams are encouraged).

For the participants, the goal will be to build an IoT Solution that can help citizens or solve major environmental or society issues. The solution must use one of the open-source oneM2M Platforms. Certificates will be provided to all participants providing a completed solution.

To help participants build their solution, an HW IoT kit with sensors and microcontroller will be provided to each team.

Important Note: Participation in this hackathon is restricted to the students of Sejong University.

Other participants are welcome to register and attend the virtual event as “observers”, but they will not be able to participate in the competition.

Thank you for your understanding.

Registrations will be accepted until Tuesday 20th April COB.

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radio technology enables a new generation of high-speed data devices for short-range communication purposes as well as location tracking and Sensor devices and opens new markets with a variety of innovative applications. UWB devices may form an integral part of other portable electronic equipment such as future generation cellular phones or laptops equipped with UWB enabled short-range air interfaces. [EN 303 883-1]

Commission Implementing Decision C(2015) 5376 on a standardization request to the CENELEC and ETSI as regards radio equipment in support of Directive 2014/53/EU demanding standardisation regarding receiver characteristics and receiver performance parameters.

ETSI TC ERM/TG UWB responded by developing innovative solutions for specification of receiver characteristics and receiver performance parameters for UWB and SRD.

Topics to be covered:
• Requirements of M/536
• Shift from Generic standards to product specific standards
• Development of relevant for UWB Receiver parameters
• New measurements standards for SRD and UWB equipment
• Worldwide UWB regulations between 3,1 and 10,6 GHz

Event Technology: Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV)

ETSI is proud to bring you an interactive virtual event on the topic of NFV Evolution, produced in partnership with TelecomTV.

Join this Special Report on NFV Evolution, in virtual format from the comfort of your home or office, broadcasting live on 21 April 2021, from 3 to 5pm CEST.

Established in 2013, the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) on Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV), has generated over 100 publications and has positioned itself as the standard for deploying and managing virtualised network functions, that have become essential for implementing 5G networks.

ETSI’s innovative NFV roadmap further evolved with the recent advances in network automation, edge-computing and cloud-native software architectures, creating new perspectives in the industry for NFV technology. As ETSI’s ISG is about to shape its 5th specification release, this Special Report on NFV Evolution provides you with an opportunity to engage with industry stakeholders and obtain insights into their implementation experience on ETSI NFV standards. The technical presentations and interactive panel discussions will give you an understanding of how emerging use cases and technology advances are likely to impact the evolution of NFV standardization.

The event programme features original presentations selected from the responses received to an open call, addressing deployment experience, new use cases and technical requirements. They confirm the industry objective of making networks increasingly autonomous and extending network resources to the edge. The programme will also feature presentations from or related-to four open source communities (Anuket, CNCF, ONAP and OSM) involved in the NFV landscape.

From 19 April, 48 hours in advance of the live event, on-demand videos of these technical presentations will be available online; you are invited to leave comments and raise questions on these.

The interactive live programme will take place on 21 April (3-5pm CEST) and feature two panel discussions where distinguished experts will follow-up on the presentations, share their viewpoints and engage with you.
