ATIS Releases 5G Supply Chain Standard

ATIS Tuesday released a 5G supply chain standard, designed, it said, to make networks more secure. The standard “addresses the 5G supply chain (5G/SC) as a critical function in the design, build, deployment, and operation of 5G assured networks,” the document says. “Securing the 5G information and communications technology supply chain is critical as 5G capabilities expand rapidly in North America,” said ATIS President Susan Miller: Following a request by DOD, “ATIS has brought together leading industry and government partners to develop this standard. We are confident in the standard’s ability to deliver the multiple levels of assurance needed to secure the 5G supply chain.”
