NGMN – Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance – is a global, operator-driven alliance established in 2006 by leading international mobile network operators (MNOs). Its mission is to ensure that next-generation mobile network infrastructure, service platforms and devices meet operators’ requirements while addressing the demands and expectations of end users.

NGMN’s vision is to provide impactful industry guidance to enable innovative, sustainable and affordable mobile telecommunication services. Key focus areas include Mastering the Route to Disaggregation, Green Future Networks and 6G, while continuing to support the full implementation of 5G.

As a global alliance of nearly 70 companies and organisations—including operators, vendors, and academia—NGMN actively incorporates the perspectives of all stakeholders. It drives global alignment and convergence of technology standards and industry initiatives to avoid fragmentation and support industry scalability.

NGMN operates through a lean, project-oriented structure that ensures efficient processes and decision-making. NGMN fosters collaboration with other industry organisations to maximize synergies and complement each other’s work, focusing on end-to-end network aspects of next-generation technology.
