PISCATAWAY, N.J., July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The technologies, services and protocols that will power tomorrow's telecommunications networks are being defined and continuously updated by industry standards bodies. To stay current on national and international standards developments, Telcordia, a global leader in the development of IP, wireline, and mobile telecommunications software and services, today announced the advancement of the Telcordia® Standards Knowledgebase, a web-based subscription service that offers up-to-date, comprehensive information and expert analysis on current developments with global industry standards bodies.

"With so many standards bodies, some working cooperatively on similar projects while others seem to work at cross-purposes, it can be difficult to keep up," said Brent Greene, President, Advanced Technology Solutions, Telcordia. "To outmaneuver competitors and emerge as leading players in next-generation telecom, companies need an early understanding of the direction and ramifications of proposed industry standards to proactively help shape them and influence their product/service designs to achieve future business goals."

Telcordia Standards Knowledgebase provides vendor-neutral information and analysis on virtually all of the world's major telecom standards forums, including 3GPP, ATIS-sponsored committees, IEEE 802, IETF, ITU--T Study Groups, OIF, TM Forum, as well as newly emerging standards bodies such as Femto Forum, NGMN Alliance. In addition, Telcordia offers tiered consulting services with access to expert consultation for questions on reports, support and guidance on the industry standards, briefings on critical issues in telecom standards, and more.

According to Greene, the value of the Telcordia Standards Knowledgebase stems from the company's core expertise in Next Generation Network (NGN) signaling, IPTV, VoIP, network management, optical transmission and networking, Internet and IP technologies, wireless systems, numbering and routing, testing and interoperability, emergency services, number portability, security and critical infrastructure protection (CIP), reliability, and performance.

"With more than 25 years of experience as a leader in the development of telecom technologies and standards worldwide, and active membership in more than two dozen major U.S. and international standards bodies, Telcordia is uniquely qualified to offer truly actionable and independent analysis on current and future network technology," added Greene.
