TIA Standards Update Q4 – 2022
TIA’s TR engineering committees have been hard at work with ongoing standards development meetings and leadership elections.
TR-14 Structural Standards for Communication and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures Committee
TR-14 is pleased to welcome three new participants—Johnson Broderick Engineering, FieldSync, and Westchester Services. TR-14 will hold their first 2023 in-person full committee and Ad Hoc Task Group meeting this Spring. Their second meeting will take place in the fall. The committee held their leadership elections last October. Bryan Lanier of American Tower Corporation was elected hair and David Hawkins of Paul J. Ford & Company was elected vice chair.

TR-41 Performance and Accessibility for Communications Products
TR-41 is updating the TIA-5050 Standard for Communications Products Volume Control Requirements for Wireless (Mobile) Devices. This important work will focus on ensuring that mobile phones are compatible with hearing aid devices. Industry stakeholders such as mobile handset manufacturers; mobile telephone service providers; manufacturers of personal sound amplifiers; standards development organizations involved in audio device standards; and associations that represent audio device manufacturers, telecommunications service providers, and hearing aid users can take part in this effort by participating on the TR-41 committee.
