Research and Markets reveals that, increase in Standardization was one of the top trend observed in the Telecom Infrastructure Equipment market as of 2016. The increasing globalization of telecom infrastructure equipment has warranted the need for standardization of products involved. Standardization of telecom equipment would enable inter-operability between equipment and systems. Fast pace of innovation in the communications equipment market makes it necessary to revise standards at regular intervals.

The diverse specifications of products designed by different companies also make standardization tough. Lack of consensus among different countries on what constitutes an ideal standard thwarts attempts at standardization. Despite all the above problems, attempts at standardization have continued and accelerated in recent years For instance, G.600-G.699 standard was defined by ITU for transmission media and optical systems.
