SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 2, 2026 - Network architects and compliance teams designing next-generation infrastructure face a binding constraint: 6G Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) systems introduce sensing capabilities that existing security and privacy frameworks do not cover, and ETSI's newly published GR ISC 004 defines the technical and non-technical requirements that vendors and operators must address before these systems can be responsibly deployed.

What ETSI GR ISC 004 covers

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute's Industry Specification Group on Integrated Sensing and Communications published ETSI GR ISC 004, a structured report cataloguing 19 key issues spanning security, privacy, trustworthiness, and sustainability in 6G ISAC environments. Of those 19 issues, 15 address security and privacy, while the remaining four focus on sustainability dimensions unique to systems that sense as well as communicate.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 4, 2026 - Network vendors, radio access technology teams, and standards-track engineers now have a concrete architectural reference for building sensing capabilities directly into 6G systems, as ETSI's Industry Specification Group on Integrated Sensing and Communications has released GR ISC 003-a report that defines the structural foundations required to merge RF sensing with cellular communications at the system and RAN levels.
