Why This Matters

The adoption of the 3GPP Version 19 and the official 5G-Advanced logo marks a significant step in clearly distinguishing new 5G capabilities, helping industry stakeholders and consumers better understand the evolution of mobile technology. This clarity supports more informed decision-making and enhances communication across the telecommunications ecosystem.

Key Takeaways

The official 5G-Advanced logo, for use on 3GPP Reports and Specifications, will again appear on Release 19 deliverables.

The decision to adopt the new marker (from Rel-18) was taken at the 3GPP Project Coordination Group (PCG#46-e Meeting) in April 2021. The PCG has considered and approved the use of distinct 3GPP markers since the completion of early LTE work in 2008, to help distinguish new release capabilities and the services that they bring.

Whether ‘LTE’ or ‘5G’, these markers have allowed the broader industry to achieve some clarity in their conversations about which 3GPP system they are referring to in a variety of conversations with partners and customers, as well as within the 3GPP community.
