<p class="p1"><span class="s1">On the heels of our previous announcement, in which Liangping Ma's and Ed Ehrlich earned <a href="http://www.interdigital.com/post/interdigital-engineers-named-to-prestigious-leadership-roles-in-the-industry">new leadership positions</a>&nbsp;in the mobile industry, InterDigital is delighted to continue the streak of&nbsp;recognized engineers in Behrouz Aghili.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A little over two&nbsp;weeks ago, Behrouz, a principal engineer in our Melville office, was elected vice-chair of the CT plenary, which oversees the work of all CT, a very important working group in the 3GPP standards-setting organization. CT stands for the &ldquo;</span><span class="s2">C</span><span class="s1">ore Network and </span><span class="s2">T</span><span class="s1">erminals&rdquo; Technical Specification Group, and is responsible for defining the interfaces/protocols within the core network and between the core network and terminal devices &ndash; what&rsquo;s called the NAS layer. The other elected officials to the CT plenary are representatives from Huawei, Deutsche Telekom and NTT Docomo, so as always we&rsquo;re in tremendous company.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">This is an&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;accomplishment, and we'd like to congratulate all the engineers who have recently been selected as leaders in the industry, as well as all our folks in standards research who were able to work hard to get these results. &nbsp;Thank you!</span></p>
