Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) is a cordless telephony standard maintained by ETSI. It originated in Europe, where it is the common standard, replacing earlier standards, such as CT1 and CT2. Since the DECT-2020 standard it also includes IoT communication.

G.984
ITU-T G.984 is the series of standards that define the architecture and operation of gigabit-per-second–capable passive optical network (GPON). It is commonly used to implement the link to the customer (the last kilometre, or last mile) of fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) services, using a point-to-multipoint design. GPON supporting a shared bandwidth of downstream data rates of up to 2.4 Gbit/s and normally upstream rates of up to 1.2 Gbit/s.

HiperMAN
HiperMAN (High Performance Radio Metropolitan Area Network) is a standard created by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) group to provide a wireless network communication in the 2–11 GHz bands across Europe and other countries which follow the ETSI standard. HiperMAN is a European alternative to WiMAX (or the IEEE 802.16 standard) and the Korean technology WiBro.

10G-PON
10G-PON (also known as XG-PON or G.987) is a 2010 computer networking standard for data links, capable of delivering shared Internet access rates up to 10 Gbit/s (gigabits per second) over optical fibre. This is the ITU-T's next-generation standard following on from GPON or gigabit-capable PON. Optical fibre is shared by many subscribers in a network known as FTTx in a way that centralises most of the telecommunications equipment, often displacing copper phone lines that connect premises to the phone exchange. Passive optical network (PON) architecture has become a cost-effective way to m
