From page 37...
... Launched in July 2015, the NIST 5G mmWave Channel Model Alliance helps accelerate the development and use of measurements and models for next-generation communications technologies. By bringing together researchers from multiple stakeholder groups, including communications technology companies, wireless service providers, academia, and government, CTL has developed consensus technical findings that benefit standards and best practices for 5G deployment.
