TIA’s ‘Green’ DriveStandards Development

3GPP2 - on-going development of S.P0140 Study for Green Technology Initiative for cdma2000® Wireless Networks and S.P0141 Study for M2M Communications for cdma2000® Wireless Networks

These Technical Reports will be transposed by TR-45 into TIA TSBs.

TIA’s ‘Green’ DriveStandards Development

TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers

TIA-942 Addendum 2 – published March 2010• Expansion of temperature and humidity ranges

will allow for lower power consumption and reduction of HVAC capacity.

The scope of subcommittee TR-42.3 (Pathways and Spaces) relates to CSI MasterFormat™ divisions 1-10. A task group has been established to consider new “green” projects.

TIA’s ‘Green’ DriveStandards Development

TIA is developing an access agnostic set of M2M protocols in Committee TR-50 which can be used for smart grid devices.

TIA is developing a standard for immunity to voltage surges that smart grid equipment may encounter as a result of lightning strikes.

Challenges

Continue to identify, analyze and inform TIA stakeholders of environmental issues and regulations as they relate to current and future directions in the global market.
