TIA Issues Call for Interest on new Project for Telecommunications – Telephone Terminal Equipment – Caller Identity and Visual Message Waiting Indicator Equipment Performance Requirements

Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation.

Arlington VA. (March 29, 2016) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-41.3 Engineering Committee on Analog and Digital Wireline Terminals has issued a call for interest for document TIA-777-A initially titled Telecommunications – Telephone Terminal Equipment – Caller Identity and Visual Message Waiting Indicator Equipment Performance Requirements. This standard addresses the technical issues associated with Type 1, Type 2, and Type 2.5 Customer Premises Equipment for services such as Calling Identity Delivery, Visual Message Waiting Indicator, Calling Identity Delivery on Call Waiting and Call Waiting Deluxe. The Type 1 and Type 2 issues were previously addressed in TIA/EIA-716 and TIA/EIA-777 respectively. This document is intended to replace both TIA/EIA-716 and TIA/EIA-777. The services use On-Hook and Off-Hook signaling with data frames packaged in Single Data Message Format (SDMF), and Multiple Data Message Format (MDMF)

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: Telecommunications industry involved in Caller-ID product design, production and purchasing.

TIA is actively seeking participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.

For more information about TR-41 and how to participate in standards development with TIA, contact Marianna Kramarikova at standards@tiaonline.org.

A major function of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the writing and maintenance of voluntary industry standards and specifications. These activities are carried out by the volunteer members of TIA engineering committees. On the public engineering committee pages, users will find recent meeting reports, agendas and notices for upcoming meetings, as well as links to some of the most popular standards from each committee.
