GISFI’s Approach
• Focus on recognizing new (unaddressed) requirements
understanding.
• Convert them into meaningful engineering requirements.
• Adopt system approach to consolidate the new requirements,
Identify GAPs and define the Delta.
• Look at new requirements as candidate for standardization for
global application.
• Look at emerging standardization work in other SDO, assess
the approach with respect to new requirements and take
suitable decision to proceed with differentiation.
• Focus on collaboration, no duplication of efforts.
• Still an developing organization, need support from all
established SDO.

GISFI’s IPR Policy
• GISFI’s adopted IPR Policy is based on ESTI’s IPR Policy
which is stable and matured by contribution from 700 strong
membership.
• ITU Workshop on IPR issues are extremely timely for India,
GISFI and the international community of experts.
• Keen to learn from the current ITU Workshop on IPR Issues
and Standardization.
• Hope to find some points for internal deliberations and may
lead to incorporate in our IPR Policy.
• Look forward for support from international community.

Future Radio Network
• Purpose
– Study on energy efficient, cost-effective, sustainable
infrastructure with suitable deployment architecture for rural
deployment.
– Unified radio networks with existing (2G/3G+/IMT-A) and
evolving radio technologies capitalizing on the best mix of
technology characteristics.
– Infrastructure Sharing of current and evolving networks.
– Methods to minimize the needs of spectrum requirements.
– Study on Future Radio Access Techniques like Cognitive and
Collaborative Networks to address the emerging high bandwidth
requirements within the available limited spectrum.
– Study on practical aspects for adopting IMT-Advanced Radio
technology to suit specific requirements in India.

solutions to
(1) make ICT green,
(2) use ICT to make other sectors green and
(3) measurement metrics / methods for energy usage
• Achievements:
– Technical reports on all 3 topics are ready
– Technical specification has started on measurement metrics
– Work item is being proposed on green charges
• Plan
– Technical reports to be published within 2011
– Technical specifications on measurement metrics to be
completed by mid 2012
– Technical specifications on green charges to be completed in
2012

Security
• Purpose:
– This group provides security standards / solutions for
standards being developed in all other groups in
GISFI
– The group also develops specific stand-alone security
solutions
• Activities: Currently focusing on studies
regarding security for (1) Internet of Things (IOT)
including machine-to-machine (M2M), (2) Cloud
security, (3) Child security in cyber world, (4)
Unsolicited communication prevention
• Plan: Technical reports are expected in 2012
