ITU became a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1947. ITU&#8217;s mission is to facilitate the growth and sustainable development of telecommunications and information networks, and to facilitate worldwide access so that people around the world can participate in and benefit from the new information community and global economy.    <\/p>\n\n<p>ITU has been involved in helping the world communicate for over 150 years. Their work helps to lay the infrastructure, achieve connectivity and provide effective telecommunications services worldwide. <\/p>\n\n<p>ITU has been at the cutting edge of information and communications technology by defining and implementing globally accepted technical standards that allow industry to seamlessly connect people and equipment around the world. It has also successfully regulated the worldwide use of the radio frequency spectrum, ensuring that all international wireless communications remain free of interference to ensure the transmission of vital information and economic data around the world. <\/p>\n\n<p>ITU has also led the global development of telecommunications and promoted the deployment of telecommunications in developing countries by advising on development policies, regulatory frameworks and strategies, and by providing specialised technical assistance in technology transfer, cybersecurity, management, financing, installation and maintenance of networks, disaster mitigation and capacity building.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Which Areas Are ITU Standards Used?<\/h2>\n\n<p>These standards allow you to:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Expanding into new markets<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ensure interoperability<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimize the risk of non-compliance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Keep in Mind!<\/p>\n<cite><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Align telecommunications product performance with international expectations<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can We Serve You?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Online Standard<\/strong> is your most reliable and fastest solution partner for access to technical documents and publications, guidelines and standards.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you contact us, you will also get all the documentation you need.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Printed or digital <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/individual-print-or-digital-standard-provisioning-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">individual documentation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/standard-collection-provision-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Document collection specific to<\/a> your department or project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customized <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/online-standards-document-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">documentation solutions<\/a> for your company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Thanks to our valuable collaborations, we can offer you the documentation you can obtain through research on more than 500 sources in digital or printed form.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Through our partnerships with <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/american-petroleum-institute-api\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">API<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/ashrae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASHRAE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/asme-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASME<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/astm-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASTM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/british-standards-institution-bsi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BSI<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/international-electrotechnical-commission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IEC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/ieee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IEEE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com.tr\/iso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ISO<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/sae-international\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAE<\/a> and hundreds of other standardization bodies, we can save you time and resources by giving you quick access to accurate and reliable information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does ITU stand for?
