The NGMN Alliance is a forum to share, assess, and drive aspects of mobile broadband technologies focusing on LTE and its evolution. The vision of the NGMN Alliance is to provide a platform for innovation by moving towards one integrated network for the seamless introduction of mobile broadband services. In addition, this network will coexist with other networks while it facilitates smooth migration from, and is capable of replacing, existing networks.
"We are pleased to announce our participation in the NGMN Alliance. We look forward to making innovative contributions to the next generation of mobile wireless networks," said Dr Thomas Neubauer, Managing Director of Symena. "In many respects NGMN is setting the pace of innovation particularly where it comes to SON for LTE and other standards. Our participation in the Alliance will assist us in understanding the needs of the world's leading operators."

ABOUT NGMN ALLIANCE
The NGMN Alliance (www.ngmn.org) was founded by leading international mobile network operators in 2006. Its goal is to ensure that the standards for next generation network infrastructure, service platforms and devices will meet the requirements of operators and, ultimately, will satisfy end user demand and expectations.
The objective of the initial phase of NGMN with working groups on Technology, Spectrum, IPR, Ecosystem, and Trials was to enable the launch of commercial services in 2010.
After having successfully reached this milestone, the NGMN Alliance now addresses the challenges of network deployment, operations, and interworking. Furthermore, the NGMN Alliance will drive and guide the development of all future mobile broadband technology enhancements focusing on LTE & EPC and its evolution. The targets of this work programme are supported by the strong and well-established partnership of worldwide leading operators, vendors, and successful co-operations with other industry organisations.
Achievements and the roadmap beyond 2010 will be presented at the Mobile World Congress 2011 in the joint GSMA/NGMN conference stream "Technology Evolution" on 17th February 2011.
