The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) is a United States-based organization that develops technical and operational standards for the global telecommunications industry. Established in 1983, ATIS has been a key player in the development and implementation of innovative communication technologies and solutions to drive the evolution of networks and services. ATIS is the North American contributor to global standards body 3GPP. History: ATIS was founded in 1983 as a non-profit organization, in response to the need for an industry-driven body to develop and promote technical standards and solutions in the telecommunications sector. ATIS was created to bring together various stakeholders, including service providers, equipment manufacturers, software developers, and other related entities, to collaboratively address common industry challenges and opportunities. Since inception, ATIS has been involved in the development of many important industry standards, including those related to network interconnection, numbering and addressing, operations support systems, and wireless communications. The organization has played a pivotal role in advancing new technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and software-defined networking (SDN). Under the auspices of ATIS, the Next G is building the foundation for North American leadership in 6G and beyond. Organization: ATIS is governed by a Board of Directors, which is composed of representatives from leading telecommunications companies, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and UScellular, among others. The organization operates through various committees, working groups, and forums, focused on specific areas of interest within the information and communications technology sector.
