To maximize u tilization\, organizations often turn to ecosystems of partners to drive c ollaboration and integration of these technologies. One structured and pro ven way of establishing such an ecosystem is via standardization. Standard s provide vehicles to establish best-practices and define interfaces for c ompliance\, allowing users to have confidence that the products they emplo y are safe\, reliable\, and are of good quality.\n\nJoin us on 2022-03-17 at 1700 UTC as we discuss standards and their role in accelerating M17’s growth.\n\nM17 Project has developed a new digital radio protocol for dat a and voice\, made by and for amateur radio operators.\n\nThe protocol's v oice mode uses the free and open Codec 2 voice encoder.
