IEEE SA Connectivity and Telecom Global Practice

IEEE SA Connectivity & Telecom Icon

Digital connectivity is a human right. IEEE SA’s global collaborative platform for standardization offers diverse stakeholders opportunities to build solutions for robust and affordable connectivity to underserved communities worldwide and at the same time address the need for improved, secure, and reliable connectivity for data-intensive applications. The program also addresses various industrial applications in the connectivity domain.

The Connectivity and Telecom Landscape

Whether wired or wireless, connectivity can meet the ever-increasing data, innovation, and economic aims across different regions of the world. Connecting the unconnected allows for improved digital literacy and economic well-being, stronger healthcare and education, and advances in mobility, energy, finance, social impact, and beyond. IEEE SA’s global reach and neutral, open environment empower innovators to reach a consensus on game-changing connectivity and telecom standards and solutions.

Key Areas of Focus

As part of the Connectivity and Telecom focus, we engage in three key workstreams that address the obstacles to connectivity, accessibility, and quality of communications.

Rural Connectivity

Activities and standards in this workstream aim to connect the world’s unconnected and under-serviced populations, ultimately opening doors to new opportunities, improved quality of life, and greater economic self-sufficiency.

Consumer Connectivity

The goal of this workstream is to provide improved, secure, and reliable connectivity for data-intensive applications and look for opportunities to embrace and define new technologies and realities around consumers themselves.

Industrial Connectivity

This workstream aims to develop new ways of communicating for a broad set of providers, step-change improvements in information exchange, broadening access and integration of technology, and providing connectivity to critical, time-sensitive applications.
