Hello Jagrit D.

Great question! In telecom, following industry standards is essential to ensure system resiliency and long-term maintainability.

We rely heavily on 3GPP standards - these basically define how mobile networks work. I've seen this through my career working on the evolution from WCDMA (3G) to LTE (4G) to NR (5G). The systems can evolve without needing to redesign everything from scratch.

Another one I'm personally involved with is O-RAN specifications. I get to see how these standards push for more open, flexible RAN architecture. Why does this matter? It means you're not stuck with one vendor's solution, and you can upgrade different pieces independently. This is key for long-term maintainability.

There are also ETSI standards for different telecom specs - these make sure equipment from different vendors can work together smoothly.

Hmmm... beyond these industry standards, we also have our internal guidelines for things like code quality and design patterns.

Feel free to send a follow-up question if you want to know more about any specific standard!

Best regards,

Casey
