HTTP
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Main characteristics: Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, uses a request-response model.
CDMA
Defining organization: Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Main characteristics: Code Division Multiple Access, a channel access method used by various radio communication technologies, known for its capacity to use the full bandwidth spectrum available.
TCP
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: Transmission Control Protocol, a core protocol of the Internet protocol suite that provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of bytes between applications running on hosts communicating via an IP network.
HTTPS
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: Extension of HTTP with security capabilities, uses TLS/SSL encryption to protect the communication channel.
Wi-Fi
Defining organization: Wi-Fi Alliance Main characteristics: A family of wireless network protocols, based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, used for local area networking of devices and Internet access.
LTE
Defining organization: 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Main characteristics: Long-Term Evolution, a standard for wireless broadband communication, provides increased capacity and speed using a different radio interface and core network improvements.

UMTS
Defining organization: 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Main characteristics: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, a third generation (3G) mobile cellular system for networks based on the GSM standard.
TLS
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: Transport Layer Security, an updated version of SSL designed to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the Internet.
FTP
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: File Transfer Protocol, a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network.
GSM
Defining organization: European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Main characteristics: Global System for Mobile Communications, a standard developed to describe protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks.
UDP
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: User Datagram Protocol, a simpler message-based connectionless communication protocol used primarily for establishing low-latency and loss-tolerating connections between applications on the Internet.
IPv4
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: Fourth version of the Internet Protocol, uses 32-bit addresses, allowing for 4.3 billion unique addresses.
IPv6
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: Successor to IPv4, uses 128-bit addresses, vastly increasing the number of possible unique addresses.
SDH
Defining organization: International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Main characteristics: Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, a standard technology for synchronous data transmission on optical media, intended for the European telecommunications sector.
VoIP
Defining organization: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Main characteristics: Voice over Internet Protocol, a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet.
Bluetooth
Defining organization: Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) Main characteristics: A wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances using short-wavelength UHF radio waves.
Ethernet
Defining organization: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Main characteristics: A family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN).
SONET
Defining organization: American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Main characteristics: Synchronous Optical Networking, a standardized protocol that transfers multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber using lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
