Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the challenges confronting the information and communications technology (ICT) industry are more complex than ever, ATIS solutions are increasingly designed with a keen understanding of their regional and global impact. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Protecting the trusted wireless equipment supply chain is a key industry concern. To strengthen and expand this chain, ATIS launched the Open RAN Minimum Viable Profile (MVP) Initiative in partnership with major North American Mobile Network Operators. The MVP is a vehicle to both inform and drive rapid development of “carrier grade” equipment for the U.S. Open RAN market. Our work will create an MVP that will enable any supplier, including new entrants, to offer their innovations in the North American equipment marketplace. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ATIS continues to advance North American 6G priorities. 3GPP has already committed to developing 6G specifications. With its work on 3G, 4G and 5G specifications used by billions of communications services consumers globally, 3GPP stands ready to create the 6G future. ATIS' Next G Alliance has been working to shape the 6G future since 2020, and it is prepared to have its contributions influence the global landscape.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, as the North American 3GPP organizational partner, ATIS is taking a prominent role in hosting 3GPP meetings stateside. This November, the 2024 3GPP Plenary meetings will be held in Orlando.

The FCC has adopted a Report and Order implementing new rules to protect cell phone consumers from SIM swap and port-out fraud. Through these practices, malicious actors take control of consumers’ cell phones and gain unauthorized access to their mobile phone numbers. The result is identity theft which leads to compromised accounts, financial losses and personal privacy breaches.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(62, 62, 62);">To address this problem, ATIS has developed </span><a href="https://www.atis.org/resources/enhancing-telecom-security-through-self-sovereign-identity-a-solution-to-sim-swap-fraud/" target="_blank" style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #2C74FF; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Enhancing Telecom Security through Self-Sovereign Identity: A Solution to SIM Swap Fraud</a><span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">,</span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(62, 62, 62);">a report addressing the escalating threat of SIM swap fraud and introducing a cutting-edge ATIS solution to combat it leveraging the use of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) technology.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(62, 62, 62);">With this new solutions-focused white paper, ATIS aims to empower both individuals and telecommunication providers with tools they need to safeguard against fraudulent activities.

color: #2C74FF; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">policies and definitions</a><span style="font-size: 16px;">. These are designed to outline what is expected of all participants in and to protect the security and integrity of the STIR/SHAKEN ecosystem. With these policies and definitions as its guide, the STI-GA works cooperatively with enforcement authorities, such as the FCC and State Attorneys General. If the FCC removes a provider from its Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD), the STI-GA ensures that provider is removed from its own list of authorized providers, as RMD registration is one requirement for STIR/SHAKEN participation. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><br></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Similarly, if, due to a complaint filed by a State’s Attorney General, the STI-GA finds that a provider has improperly attested to an illegally spoofed, fraudulent call, the STI-GA may, after communicating with the provider and determining that indeed the provider has acted improperly, will not correct its issues, remove the provider from the ecosystem.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></p> <p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The STI-GA policies are key to creating a framework where service providers can properly authenticate calls and end users can regain trust in the overall telephone system.

Improper network design can lead to millions of dollars wasted on damaged equipment and unnecessary downtime. Training network design and protection engineers is a critical issue in helping companies in the ICT industry improve their bottom line. ATIS’ PEG Conference is where top protection and network power engineering professionals gather to learn about the latest topics from the field’s leading experts. If you are interested in being part of this group, note that the Call for speakers for the 2025 PEG event will go out in August of this year.</span></p></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table class="layout-margin" style="" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td class="layout-margin_cell" style="padding: 0px 40px;" align="center" valign="top"> <table class="layout layout--feature layout--1-column" style="table-layout: fixed;
