Founded by Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia, Wireless Village, the Mobile Instant Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS) Initiative, was formed in April 2001 to define and promote a set of universal specifications for mobile instant messaging and presence services. The Wireless Village initiative was merged into the Open Mobile Alliance in 2002, where the work continues to define the OMA IMPS specifications. OZ is actively participating in evolving the OMA IMPS specifications and is committed to fully comply with the specifications in its products.

OZ is a member of the Open Mobile Alliance(tm). The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) was established in June 2002 by nearly 200 companies representing the whole mobile services value chain. OMA is at the center of a mobile service standardization work dedicated to the creation of interoperable services across countries, operators and mobile terminals. OMA is demonstrating a strong industry endorsement of an open and multi-vendor business environment. Seamless end-to-end interoperability between terminals and infrastructure, as well as across service enablers, is key to the success of the mobile services market. OMA also establishes best practices for interoperability testing (IOT), including multi-standard interoperability to ensure a seamless user experience.

The GSM Association (GSMA) is the global trade association that exists to promote, protect and enhance the interests of GSM mobile operators throughout the world. At the end of September 2005, it consisted of more than 680 second and third generation mobile operators and more than 160 manufacturers and suppliers. The Association's members provide mobile services to approaching 1.57 billion customers across more than 210 countries and territories around the world. The GSMA aims to accelerate the implementation of collectively identified, commercially prioritized operator requirements and to take leadership in representing the global GSM mobile operator community with one voice on a wide variety of issues nationally, regionally and globally.
GSM is a living and evolving wireless communications standard that already offers an extensive and feature-rich 'family' of voice and data services. The GSM family consists of today's GSM, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) and third generation GSM services (3GSM) based on the latest WCDMA technology. Together these platforms create GSM - The Wireless Evolution.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. It is open to any interested individual. The actual technical work of the IETF is done in its working groups, which are organized by topic into several areas (e.g., routing, transport, security, etc.). Much of the work is handled via mailing lists. The IETF holds meetings three times per year.

IIT and IIT - Research have the unique distinction of assembling the industry's main players and encouraging them to collaborate, by bringing together large organizations, SMEs, venture capital companies and universities. Focusing on the basic needs of the industry, IIT and IIT-R offer a variety of complementary services designed to meet them.
As a training centre for the industry, providing state-of-the-art consulting services in telecommunications/ICTs, IIT also offers essential support to innovative SMEs by helping them with the critical steps involving marketing and funding. IIT-R, on the other hand, is an industrial research consortium focusing on wire-based and wireless telecommunications pre-competitive research. As such, it is called upon to play a major Research and Development (R&D) role, for both large organizations and SMEs.
