What is TTC ?
Mission
TTC is an incorporated association that contributes to standardization activities in the ﬁeld of information andcommunication technology (ICT) by developing and disseminating standards for information and communications
networks. It thus participates in the creation of a safe and comfortable society supported by the rapid developmentof ICTs.

Description of Business Activities● Developing standards pertaining to information and communication networks● Conducting surveys and research on information and communication networks● Disseminating standards pertaining to information and communication networks● Engaging in undertakings ancillary to the above business activities● Engaging in other business activities necessary to achieve the purpose of the Committee

Development ofStandards

Strategic Standardization Activities

TTCʼ s Strategy Committee plays a pivotal role in developing the organizationʼ s strategic standardization activities.
TTC standards are enacted in conformance with the World Trade Organizationʼ s Agreement on Technical Barriers to
Trade (TBT Agreement), ensuring neutrality and transparency in the standardization process.

❶Setting high-priority subjects
High priority subjects are set to discover agendas for standardization. TTCʼ s Strategy Committee in cooperation
with Advisory Groups investigate the current standardization status and trends concerning the set subjects andwork to reﬂect their ﬁndings in TTC standardization activities in a timely manner.

❷Developing and maintaining technical standards
The Strategy Committee develops midterm strategic standardization plans covering three-year periods. Onceapproved by the Technical Assembly, the plans are used by working groups to develop the technical standards
required by TTC members in a systematic and timely manner. Working groups develop standardization plans forthe next ﬁscal year based on their own midterm standardization strategy and operate their standardization
activities over a one-year cycle.

❸Dynamic operation of working
In order to keep up with the rapid progress in information and communication technologies, TTC dynamically
readjusts the organization of its working groups.

GlobalCollaboration

International Cooperation

TTC is intensively promoting cooperation with various international, regional and national standards development
organizations (SDOs) on global standardization activities concerning ICT.
The current main frameworks for international cooperation are as follows.
● ITU-T: Upstream activities to contribute to studies undertaken by the ITU-T and downstream activities to reﬂect
ITU-T study outcomes to TTC standards● 3GPP/3GPP2: Downstream ( Transposing ) activities for developing technical speciﬁcations of mobile networks
and high level program coordination and management● oneM2M: Development of the technical speciﬁcations for a common M2M service layer to ensure an eﬃcient aswell as easily and widely available M2M service● GSC (Global Standards Collaboration): Development of high-level strategies for global standardization activities
by twelve major SDOs including TTC● ASTAP (Asia-Paciﬁc Telecommunity Standardization Program): Cooperation and collaboration in ICT
standardization with countries in the Asia-Paciﬁc region● CJK: Joint studies and exchange of views among ARIB (Japan), CCSA (China), TTA (Korea) and TTC on global
standardization in relation to ICTs
TTC is one of the SDOs that have been oﬃcially qualiﬁed and recognized by the ITU-T in its Recommendations A.5
and A.6, indicating that the ITU-T can include references to TTC Standards in its Recommendations and cancooperate and exchange information with TTC.
In its quest to help bridge the standardization gap and improve digital inclusion, TTC will continue to contribute tointernational standardization activities through personnel exchange and the promotion and dissemination of ICTtechnologies through close collaboration with the relevant international SDOs.
