The Telecommunications Industry Association ( TIA ) is accredited by the American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ) to develop voluntary, consensus-based industry standards for a wide variety of information and communication technology ( ICT ) products, and currently represents nearly 400 companies. TIA's Standards and Technology Department operates twelve engineering committees, which develop guidelines for private radio equipment, cellular towers , data terminals , satellites , telephone terminal equipment, accessibility , VoIP devices, structured cabling , data centers , mobile device communications, multimedia multicast , vehicular telematics , healthcare ICT, machine to machine communications , and smart utility networks .
5-586: The TIA -102 series of documents delineate an American National Standard . The papers describe and define tests and test methodologies that can be used by land mobile radio systems (LMR) equipment developers and others to assess implementations of this functionality and its performance. They make up APCO Project 25 . TIA-102 concerns the functionality and performance necessary to enable inter-operable (i.e., multi-manufacturer) implementation of open interfaces , services, and features for digital Land Mobile Radio (LMR) equipment. They are continuously evolving as
10-665: A result of advancements in LMR technologies, emerging LMR operational needs, and other factors (e.g., LMR Service radio spectrum regulatory changes). This article related to telecommunications is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Telecommunications Industry Association Active participants include communications equipment manufacturers, service providers, government agencies, academic institutions, and end-users are engaged in TIA's standards setting process. To ensure that these standards become incorporated globally, TIA
15-558: A single board. The headquarters of the combined organization was the TIA location in Arlington, Virginia. The Telecommunications Industry Association's most widely adopted standards include: TIA encourages engineers who represent the manufacturers and/or users of network equipment technology products and services (from both the public and private sectors), to become engaged in TIA's engineering committees, by voting and submitting technical contributions for inclusion in future standards. TIA
20-547: Is a participating standards organization of the ITU-T Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) initiative. The GSC has created a Machine-to-Machine Standardization Task Force (MSTF) to foster industry collaboration on standards across different vertical markets, such as finance, e-health, connected vehicles, and utilities. TIA supported the E-LABEL Act (H.R. 5161; 113th Congress) , a bill that would direct
25-752: Is also engaged in the International Telecommunication Union ( ITU ), the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ), and the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC ). TIA merged in 2017 with the Quest Forum, home of the TL9000 quality standard for operators, which substantially increased the number of companies under the TIA umbrella. The boards of the two organizations were combined into
