Also known as: ETSI, European Telecommunications Standards Institute

ETSI (the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) is an independent, not-for-profit standards organization whose work is used worldwide.¹ In land-mobile radio it authored DMR, dPMR, and TETRA.²

ETSI is the European standards body behind DMR, TETRA, and dPMR.

Overview

ETSI’s open standards let many vendors build interoperable equipment, which is a large part of why DMR became so widespread and inexpensive.

Relevance to SDR

Several digital systems GopherTrunk decodes are ETSI standards, and their published specifications inform how decoders are built.
