TIA TR-14 Presenting at Wind Turbines Standards Summit on November 28th, 2012

Arlington, VA (November 27, 2012)  – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), the leading association representing manufacturers and suppliers of high-tech communications networks, announced that a TIA standards presentation will be given tomorrow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) hosted Wind Turbines Standards Summit in Golden, Colorado.  The purpose of the summit is to convene those in the US wind energy industry who participate in wind turbine standards development and those who are materially affected by these standards.

Dave Brinker, Rhone Products, will be representing TIA’s TR-14 Engineering Committee, Structural Standards for Communication and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures, and presenting on the ANSI/TIA-222-G, Structural Standard For Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas, standard.  He will focus on the recent efforts in TIA committee TR-14 to develop the fourth addenda 4 to TIA-222-G, which provides structural information that supports the addition of small wine turbines to traditional telecommunications steel antenna towers, commonly known as cell towers. Mr. Brinker will also inform industry and stakeholders about what is going on in TIA’s standards effort and solicit feedback and follow-up participation along with details to attendees on how input and review is provided for in the standards development process.
