5 1998 Participation in ETSI Standardization High-Level Timeline Cosmote becomes ETSI Member 2005 European Standard for MSC Reporting for Real Time Monitoring Cosmote is represented and gives its voting power by proxy to the DT representative Cosmote appoints representative in all annual General Assembly (GA) meetings of ETSI with voting power 2009 AMC, Globul 2 and Cosmote Romania are approved in GA #53 as additional full members to Cosmote membership at ETSI 1 Based on the results of CAUTION (CApacity Utilization in cellular networks of present and future generation), an EU-funded project 2 Globul was member of COSMOTE Group of Companies

6 Participation in ETSI Standardization Activities 6 Follow actively (physical presence & voting power 1 ) ETSI standardization activities, where evolution of telecom industry is shaped 3GPP RAN/GERAN BRAN ehealth SAFETY 3GPP TM GSM (GPRS / EDGE) W-CDMA (HSPA) LTE (LTE-A) HiperLAN2: mobile broadband short-range access network (5GHz) HiperACCESS: fixed wireless broadband access network (>10GHz) HiperMAN: fixed wireless access network (<11GHz) Standards w.r.t. Security of systems and data, Quality of services, Interoperability and validation by testing, Usability Standards w.r.t. telecom equipment safety issues (e.g. human exposure to EM fields) In close cooperation with CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) that leads Harmonization Standards development Telecom Management standards 1 Since 2013 by proxy to the DT representative

7 Constant Increase of User Traffic, More Devices to Connect Mobile Traffic Data Growth Forecast in ~1.3 billion mobile subscriptions 830 million smartphone subscriptions Pictures of St Peter s Square in 2005 Source: The Telegraph 6.5 GB/month data traffic per active smartphone 80% of mobile data traffic from smartphones 60% of all mobile data traffic from video Pictures of St Peter s Square in 2013 Source: The Telegraph 1 Based on Ericsson Mobility Report June 2015

8 Envisioned Usage Scenarios for Gigabits in sec Enhanced Mobile Broadband Smart Home/Building 3D video, UHD screens Work & Play in Cloud Augmented Reality Smart City Massive Machine Type Communications Voice Industry Automation Mission Critical Apps Self-Driving Car Ultra-Reliable & Low Latency Communications 1 Based on Recommendation ITU-R M (09/2015)

9 Standardization Needed to Address Future Multiple & Diversified Challenges 9 Innovation Deployment Pre- Standardization TECHNOLOGY LIFE-CYCLE Technology Testing & Verification Standardization Performance Interoperability Reliability Safety Secure Business Goals

10 Innovation & Pre-Standardization Activities Preparing the Ground for Future Applications 10 mwt ISG (millimetre Wave Transmission Industry Specification Group) Millimeter wave as defined in mwt ISG ETSI mwt ISG aims to be a worldwide initiative with global reach to facilitate the use of: the V-band (57-66GHz) the E-band (71-76 & 81-86GHz) and higher frequency bands up to 300 GHz for large volume applications in the backhaul/fronthaul to support mobile network implementation, WLL and any other service benefitting from high-speed wireless transmission

11 ETSI mwt ISG Activities Current/future regulations & licensing schemes for the use of suitable spectrum Putting in communication the whole industry chain to share and circulate public information regarding the applications in field in order to favor faster and more effective decisions on investments needed to provide new technologies, features and equipment Influencing standards for the deployment of the products Enhancing the confidence of all stakeholders and the general public in the use of millimeter-wave technologies WI1: Maturity and field-proven experience of millimetre wave transmission WI2: Applications and use cases of millimetre wave transmission WI3: Overview on V-band and E-band worldwide regulations WI6: Analysis of antennas for millimetre wave transmission January 2015 Kick-Off Plenary Meeting June 2015 Publication of WI3 white paper August 2015 Publication of WI2 & WI6 GS papers September 2015 Publication of WI1 white paper 1 Subject to confirmation by ETSI OCG (Operational Co-ordination Group) Several WIs are pending for publication and/or are in progress, incl.: V-band Interference Analysis mwt Semiconductor Industry W/D-Bands Spectrum Management SDN Apps for mwt Active Antennas Band & Carrier Aggregation, etc. Recently extended scope incl. traditional MW bands 1 11

12 COSMOTE Investments w.r.t. ETSI Standardization 12 RAN NB-IoT Wireless Backhaul Wireline Backhaul Core Elements VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES ONE FOCUS NMS Innovation Deployment Pre- Standardization Technology Testing & Verification Standardization

13 Summary 13 Technology innovation & network (r)evolution are needed to address requirements of future usage scenarios efficiently ETSI activities & deliverables are of paramount importance to promote innovation, whilst ensure the targeted performance, interoperability, safety, reliability and business goals Having recognized the above benefits, COSMOTE activities/projects are in-line with the ETSI standardization deliverables
