Anthony Wiles

ETSI - Former CTI Director

Anthony joined the ETSI staff in 1995 as a member of the Permanent Experts group, which eventually evolved into ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability.

His firm belief in the importance of the technical quality of ETSI standards and the need for state-of-the-art approaches to standards development and testing guided his whole career at the Institute.

Anthony was deeply involved in the development of the widely used testing methodology ISO/IEC 9646. He was leader of the TC MTS Specialist Task Force that developed the test specification language TTCN-3, which became the cornerstone of 3GPP RAN5 UE conformance testing.

As Director of the CTI Anthony ensured the team adapted its support to widely diverse standards making activities, as demonstrated by the many ETSI groups that include interoperability testing (PlugtestsTM) as an integral step in their standards development.

His legacy is an ETSI Secretariat resource that is unique in the world of standardisation.
