ETSI Standardised successfully SMS and MMS for mobile networks (GSM and 3GPP)…

…and after a great commercial success of these services…

ETSI completed F-SMS (Fixed Network SMS) standards to facilitate the same services to fixed networks‘ users

ETSI is finalising F-MMS (Fixed Network MMS) standards, the extension of MMS services to fixed network‘s users

ETSI started F-MMS specification for NGN

ETSI standards are available (free of charge) on: http://pda.etsi.org/pda/queryform.asp

ETSI is developing the standards in close collaboration with the industry, particularly the F-MMS Forum

• http://www.f-mms.org/

ETSI developed F-SMS and F-MMS standards centred on the experience of two TBs AT (Access and Terminals aspects)

• www.etsi.org/at

TISPAN (service and interconnection aspects)• www.etsi.org/tispan

SMS, MMS and the global impact

A proposal to standardise F-SMS in ITU-T SG 16 was recently submitted

ETSI is studying with ITU the best solution

On the global market the same designation should not name 2 different services even if they are similar and eventually compatible

The well established expression "SMS" should only be perceived as the SMS service defined in GSM/3GPP

ETSI is currently active to reach a global acceptance for their F-SMS and F-MMS standards
