The 5G Technical Forum (5GTF) is an organization that promotes the development and adoption of 5G technology. The 5GTF was founded in 2015 by Verizon and a group of companies that are working on 5G technology, including Nokia, Qualcomm, and Samsung. The 5GTF's goal is to create a standards-based approach to 5G that will enable a smooth transition to the next generation of wireless technology.
The 5GTF has already made significant progress towards its goal, releasing a white paper that outlines the vision for 5G technology. The white paper includes a roadmap for the development of 5G, and it is expected that the 5GTF will continue to play a leading role in the development of 5G standards.
