The Antenna Interface Standards Group (commonly referred to as AISG) is a non-profit international consortium formed by collaboration between communication infrastructure manufacturers and network operators with the purpose of maintaining and developing a standard for digital remote control and monitoring of antenna line devices in the wireless industry. The consortium was established in November 2001 with five original members, and as of March 2019 had 45 worldwide members based in North America, Asia, Europe, and the South Pacific. The consortium has released four versions of its base communication standard, AISG v1.0, AISG v1.1, AISG v2.0 and AISG v3.0. The consortium has also released stand alone standards that specify details related to its base standard. These standards include a standard for the connector used in AISG RS-485 based bus, standard for RF connector markings on the antenna faceplate and standards for distributing software and configuration files wrapped in XML. All published AISG standards can be downloaded from the AISG webpage. Latest news AISG v3.0 standard was publicly released in November 2018 and has been frequently updated afterwards. 2022: AISG has been working on, and is about to release a new standard for antenna location and orientation sensor (ALS) AISG v3.0 overview Background AISG v2 standard was released more than 10 years ago. During this time base station sites and antenna line devices on site have evolved to be more complex. Examples of features missing from the AISG v2 standard that modern base station sites require: Capability to control multi band multi array base station antenna with several base stations Capability to share a multi band multi array band base station antenna between two or more operators Ability to associate antenna arrays and other antenna line equipment to each other Ability to know the performance and parameters of each antenna array on site Tools that help in ensure correct connection of RF cables on site Experience with AISG v2 has shown that improvements in the way the standard is written were needed to ensure more uniform standard implementation between antenna line device vendors. Interoperability testing is another area where experience has shown that an interoperability testing is an area where improved standard with better support for it would be beneficial. Targets AISG v3.0 has been designed to address the above challenges. AISG v3.0 new features Platform A standard, unified, simplified and easily expandable platform that allows ALD vendors to create antenna line
