Typically, communication systems are set up by a huge number of components and entities, which are provided by a large number of different manufacturers. Interworking of all these components does not work without standardization. Furthermore, requirements coming from the economy of scale make it mandatory to have the same standardized systems globally wherever possible. As a consequence, when teaching communications engineering, education covering the overall design of communications systems is impossible without considering the standards behind these systems.
