The dossier of the month, as previously announced, deals with standardization. Indeed, standardization, in telecoms or elsewhere, is a guarantee of quality, trust and therefore efficiency. It has always been essential to unify practices in very diverse fields and to guarantee objectivity in the various exchanges. The importance of standardization, particularly in the field that interests us here and which is that of telecoms, makes it possible to ensure end-to-end interconnection under optimal conditions of quality and reliability.

In the 80s, where I was responsible for switches within the National Office of Telecoms (ONPT Rabat), I favored, with my teams at that time, the acquisition of standardized signaling interfaces despite high prices, at first sight. It is because the standardized material allows the good communication, that in each call for tender, we prefer the standardization at the expense of low costs and, consequently, we ensure a good quality of the interoperability and a better exploitation of telecom networks.

At the international level, the various standardization entities work together to provide reference and working documents while taking into account, the various technological developments. Mastery of standardization falls under the sovereignty and power of the states, whose telecom regulators design the technical specifications to make the granting of approvals safer and fairer. Finally, we are increasingly witnessing a shift of the centers of power of international technological standards from the West to Asia!

To better understand the aspects of this month's dossier on standardization, we first offer two interviews, the first of which was conducted with the Founding President of the IEEE, Morocco section, Mr. Mohamed Essaidi who will specify the role and missions of the IEEE in standardization and more specifically in the WIFI standard. And the second interview is that of Mr. Chaesub Lee, Director of ITU-T, who will discuss the importance of ITU standardization for all countries, including developing countries. Then will follow three articles, the first of which, signed by Mr. Ahmed Khaouja, will focus on “The need to reduce the standardization divide”, the second, written by Mr. René Serres, will shed light on how “to understand the standards for the telecommunications sector in eight points”.

We offer you in the IA / ICT section the interview carried out in duo with MM. Mostapha Ouladsine and Mr Stéphane Delliaux. We recall that Mr. Mustapha Ouladsine is Deputy Vice-President for digital infrastructures and artificial intelligence at the University of Aix Marseille and that Mr. Stéphane Delliaux is University Lecturer and Hospital Practitioner at the Center Hospitalo-Universitaire de Marseilles.

It is with great pleasure for us to share with you, dear readers and main partners, this seventh anniversary. Since July 2015 and until today, our magazine in its two editions, English and French, has come a long and beautiful way. The seven years have been an opportunity for us to make significant progress aimed at promoting telecoms and ICTs, particularly on our African continent. To continue to work as a key player in technology watch in the service of telecoms, the Lte Magazine team is appealing for the first time to your financial contribution in order to meet the various costs incurred by the design and publication in the deadlines of our Lte magazine. So for this purpose we have created a contribution section where you will find the bank details of the company PTT sarl Morocco which supports Lte magazine.

The Lte Magazine team therefore thanks you all, contributors and readers, and offers you, in order to discover an overview of the lived adventure, the interview carried out by M.Y. Diop with Khaouja Ahmed.

Finally, the next issue of Lte magazine, which will be the 44th, will have drones as a theme.

By Ahmed Khaouja Director of PTT Maroc and ITU expert.
