3rd European Standardization Summit ‘How standardization can support the silver economy’ Istanbul, Turkey, 11 June 2014
Ageing is one of the greatest social and economic challenges of the 21st century for European societies. It will affect all EU countries and most policy areas. By 2025 more than 20% of Europeans will be 65 or over, with a particularly rapid increase in the number of persons over 80. The ageing of Europe, also known as the greying of Europe, has become a demographic phenomenon on our continent characterized by a decrease in fertility, a decrease in mortality rate, and a higher life expectancy among European populations. The fact that people are living longer is a testament to advances in health care and nutrition, and advocates emphasize that the elderly should be seen not as a burden but as a resource. Active and healthy ageing is a challenge shared by all European countries and it offers Europe an opportunity to establish itself as a global leader capable of providing innovative responses to this challenge. By addressing this market, European Standardization could take important steps to address those businesses looking into older people’s needs. Creating customized services and technologies for the use of the ageing society will soon be necessary. This is an opportunity not to be missed by the European industry. This new economic and industrial sector will greatly promote growth and jobs in the coming years. Standardization in support of the ‘silver economy’ will foster the development of new technologies to accommodate the ageing community, strengthen the international collaboration and identify key business opportunities in fields covering the needs of elderly person. The theme ‘How standardization can support the silver economy’ covers various items, which are high on the political agenda and some of which will be discussed in parallel sessions.

Visit of Mr. Adrian Scrase for LTE India 2014, 8th May 2014
LTE Conference 2014 was organized by Bharat Exhibitions on 8th May 2014. It was the 6th edition of the LTE Conference in India supported by 3GPP. Mr. Adrian Scrase ETSI CTO along with SESEI were distinguished speakers at the conference inaugural session. The LTE India conference is being organised since 2010 to propagate the LTE Technologies and standardization efforts being carried out by ETSI in India.
Very relevant topic were identified for discussion at the conference focusing on the end user, which all services will capitalize and drive the future of mobile internet also known as Wireless Broadband and how Government can further exhilarate and support in providing infrastructure in creating LTE device ecosystem.
Mr. Scrase stated that, in terms of the standards, LTE-Advanced is already mature, with 3GPP Release 12 adding significant improvements for densely populated areas, for improved performance and for the addition of features for use cases in other fields, including specific work items on critical communications and machine-to-machine communications. In North America, we have seen spectacular LTE developments, and in Asia, some countries – notably Korea – have been equally bold. In China and India, we are seeing the start of LTE availability, and with these two massive markets joining in, the GSMA has predicted that Asia will have one half of all global LTE connections by 2017.
SESEI in his address in the inaugural ceremony applauded the International conference as it provides an excellent and remarkable interactive platform to the Telecom industry professionals in the form of conference since last one decade. SESEI as an enthusiastic of standards development, its global harmonization strongly advocated for a dialogue between India and European standards bodies. SESEI re-emphasized the strong need for India to participate and contribute towards development of standards especially for technologies shaping our world.
SESEI also utilized this opportunity and presence of Mr. Adrian Scrase to organize meetings with senior officials from Department of Telecom, Bureau of Indian Standards and discussed updates around Indian standardization activities, telecom standardization body TSDSI progress, TSDSI joining 3GPP as an Observer, standards adoption and ensured close cooperation required to take the relation to next level. Meetings with existing ETSI Members in India were also organized to strengthen the existing membership, providing them updates on ETSIs’ latest standardization activities, and exchange of fruitful dialogue around topic of mutual interest and relevance in Indian Context etc.
