3GPP is the world's largest mobile communication standardization technology cooperation organization established in 1998. Major global mobile communication companies and organizations from countries around the world, including Samsung Electronics, Qualcomm, Apple, Ericsson, Nokia, and Huawei, participate to lead the establishment of mobile communication standards. RAN2 is a division that develops wireless communication protocol standards between terminals and base stations.

Additionally, Song Jae-yeon, a researcher at Samsung Research, and Naren Tangudu, a researcher at Samsung Research India Bangalore Lab, who were elected as vice chairs of 3GPP's 'Service and System Working Group 4 (SA4)' and 'Core Network and Terminals Working Group 3 (CT Working Group 3, CT3)' respectively in August 2021, have completed their two-year terms and have been reappointed. SA4 is a division that develops transmission technologies for immersive media such as video streaming and XR (Extended Reality) based on 5G, while CT3 is responsible for establishing open interfaces that connect 5G communication networks with external internet networks.

With the production of three vice chairs, Samsung Electronics secured two chair positions and five vice chair positions, becoming the company with the most chair seats in the industry. Earlier in May, Samsung Research's Kim Yoon-sun and Andrew Bennett were appointed as chairs of 3GPP's 'Radio Access Network Working Group 1 (RAN Working Group 1)' and 'Service and System Working Group 2 (SA Working Group 2)', respectively.

Samsung Electronics stated, "Through securing these chair positions, we have established a leading position in technology fields across mobile communications, and especially plan to strengthen our technological leadership by proactively conducting ongoing 5G-Advanced standardization and 6G standardization research."
