TIA Issues a Call for Interest on a New Project for Telecommunications - Telephone Terminal Equipment - Technical Requirements for Connection of Terminal Equipment to the Telephone Network - Addendum 3

Stakeholders Invited to Contact TIA Regarding Participation.

Arlington VA. (September 09, 2015) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-41.9 Engineering Committee on Technical and Administrative Regulatory Considerations has issued a call for interest for document ANSI/TIA-968-B-3 initially titled Telecommunications - Telephone Terminal Equipment - Technical Requirements for Connection of Terminal Equipment to the Telephone Network - Addendum 3. TR-41.9 is developing guidelines which will provide changes to TIA-968-B, Telecommunications – Telephone Terminal Equipment – Technical Requirements for Connection of Terminal Equipment to the Telephone Network. This addendum will remove the AC and DC impedance requirements when subjected to the Type B ringing frequencies and voltage levels. All other clauses in TIA-968-B are not affected."

The stakeholders may include, but are not limited to: Terminal Equipment Manufacturers, Regulatory Bodies (FCC & IC), Network Service Providers, Compliance Test Laboratories, Telecommunications Certifications Bodies (TCBs) and Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA).

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. TIA is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Visit tiaonline.org.
