In today’s economy it is especially critical that company executives
continue to receive value from TIA’s standards program. We are a driving
force behind compatibility and interoperability across the global network.
Thousands of communications leaders work through our standards program to enhance the
business environment for telecommunications, broadband, mobile wireless, information technol-
ogy, networks, cable, satellite, unified communications, emergency communications, vehicular
telematics and healthcare ICT.
On the surface, many people see TIA’s standards work as “all about the technical details,” but
our work is far-reaching. We enable first responders to communicate in times of crisis; we enable
persons with disabilities to have access to communications products and services; and we will
enable the “smart car” of the future to monitor and assess road and traffic conditions to get us to

our destinations safely.
TIA Chairman
TIA’s Board of Directors considers our standards work to be of primary importance, and we
will continue to ensure that these efforts remain timely, relevant and forward-looking. On a global
level, our work is important to individual companies, to the overall industry and to the consumer.
TIA’s standards program is world-class in every respect. It is accredited by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI); the standards developing process is completely transparent;
and any interested party is encouraged to participate.
More than 1,100 subject-matter experts and other industry leaders participate in TIA’s 70+
engineering committees, subcommittees, working groups and Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs)
and the Third Generation Partnership Project 2(3GPP2). Their collaborative efforts have produced
more than 3,500 standards documents. These invaluable reference tools are used by industry and
government entities across the globe to help develop numerous products and services.
All of this would not happen without the hard work and long hours put in by our volunteers and
the backing of the companies and organizations that allow them to participate. TIA and its Board
of Directors applaud these efforts and we thank each and every one of you for supporting our

standards program.

2008-2009 TIA STAndArdS & Technology AnnuAl repor T
letter from the TIA Technical
committee chairman
thIs Is MY seCond Year of servIng YoU as ChaIrMan of tIa’s teChnICaL
Committee, and I now have an even greater appreciation for the very hard work being done by
1,100 volunteers and a dozen association staff members creating hundreds of ICT standards.
TIA is a world-class standards developing organization (SDO), fully accredited by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). We have produced more than 3,500 technical documents
since the 1920s and currently have 800 active standards in use globally. I feel privileged to serve
the membership by chairing the Board of Directors committee that supports TIA standards work.
These standards are ranked very highly by our member companies, government agencies and the
industry in general. We are clearly technology and standards thought leaders in the telecommuni-
cations industry.
One reason TIA efforts are so well regarded is the association’s global involvement through
participation in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). U.S. positions Charles Kenmore
are developed by U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (US TAGs) and forwarded to these international TIA Technical
bodies. TIA administers four International Secretariats and 16 US TAGs to international committees. Committee
Chairman
The association is also an active partner in the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) and
houses its Secretariat. See the two-page “map” in this report (p. 32) to get a comprehensive view
of TIA’s worldwide reach with global standards.
My ongoing goals for the TIA Technical Committee:
K Work more closely with other SDOs, fora and consortia to encourage international cooperation
and worldwide technical compatibility—particularly with the IEC, ISO, ITU, the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers, the Internet Engineering Task Force, BICSI and the Hearing Loss Associa-
tion of America.
K Foster even better teamwork between TIA’s standards efforts and its policy program, since
standards impact policy and trade issues—issues such as emergency response needs, universal
service, broadband proliferation, spectrum harmonization and environmentally responsible stew-
ardship of the planet.
K Focus our standards efforts to be more forward-looking and timely—in areas ranging from health-
care ICT and vehicular telematics/intelligent transportation to the green arena, where communica-
tions and information technology play such a vital role.
K Facilitate even faster standards development by providing whatever resources are needed—staff-
ing, financial investment and senior executive management.
Technology impacts just about every industry and every consumer. Technical standards are the
foundation—the ICT “glue”—of our lives and lifestyles. Many thanks to the more than 1,100 people
who are working so diligently under TIA’s auspices in the technology arena.
With deepest appreciation,
Charles Kenmore
TIA Technical Committee Chairman

TR-8: Mobile and personal
private radio Standards
sInCe 1944, engIneerIng CoMMIttee tr-8 has been responsIbLe for
formulating and maintaining voluntary standards for private radio communications systems and
equipment for both voice and data applications. These standards are essential for reliable and
interoperable communications systems.
As a result of the work of TR-8 and its 14 subcommittees, first responders can communicate
over a variety of communications protocols. The standards being developed by the committee are
crucial for the advanced mission-critical communications systems of today and for the future, and
TR-8 will continue to play an important role in developing these standards.
The committee addresses all technical matters for systems and services, including definitions,
interoperability, compatibility and compliance requirements. The types of systems addressed by
these standards include business and industrial dispatch applications as well as public safety
(such as police, ambulance and fire fighting) applications.
Much of the work of the committee continues to be the formulation and maturation of stan-
dards for Project 25 (public safety/first responder applications) and the development of standards
for the Project 34 (broadband data for public safety applications) suite of standards. These are
standards projects created with input from the Association of Public Safety Officials (APCO), the
National Association of State Telecommunications Directors (NASTD) and agencies of the federal
government.

applications. The current Project 25 standards
suite consists of 51 documents including 38
TIA standards, 23 of which are ANSI standards,
and 13 Telecommunications Systems Bulletins.
