Mission
The NGMN Alliance is a forum to share, assess, and drive aspects of mobile broadband technologies focusing on LTE & EPC (Evolved Packet Core) and its evolution. The NGMN Alliance complements and supports the work within standardisation bodies and industry fora by providing a coherent view of what the operator community is going to require for successful deployment and in order to deliver mobile broadband technology quickly and cost-effectively and serve the benefits of the end-user.
The mission of the NGMN Alliance is
- To establish clear performance targets, fundamental requirements including spectrum and deployment scenarios
- To give guidance to equipment developers and standardisation bodies, leading to the implementation of a cost-effective network evolution
- To drive implementation of NGMN recommendations and to avoid duplication of work, establish liaison statements, project-agreements as needed with SDOs and industry organisations
- To provide a forum for the industry for presentation and early assessment of new technology trends and application enablers as they apply to LTE & EPC environment
- To share experiences and lessons learnt from initial network deployments to further drive development by offering a management and leadership network e.g. by establishing open high-profile Industry Workshops
- To actively drive communication raising public awareness on the technology’s performance, availability and customer benefits
- To deliver all of the above in supporting a transparent and predictable IPR regime
