According to a report by Telecompaper on October 19, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) announced that the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has approved the ETSI DECT-2020 NR submitted by it to officially become the 5G international standard. This is also the world's first non-cellular 5G technology standard.

The standard was released in 2020 and is geared towards the design of large-scale Internet of Things networks for enterprises, using the design concept of no infrastructure, autonomy and decentralization. In a non-cellular 5G network, each device is a node, and each device can be a router-as if each device is a base station. The device automatically finds the best route, and if one device fails, these devices will reroute. In addition, the new 5G standard supports spectrum sharing and can use free international frequency bands.
