As a leading trade association representing the manufacturers and suppliers of high-speed communications networks, and a standards development organization accredited by ANSI, TIA is ready to facilitate constructive government and industry discussions around the subject of supply chain security for information communications technology (ICT) networks, including 5G.
Through its QuEST Forum (News - Alert) community, TIA has, for over 20 years, overseen a global standard on telecommunications and ICT supply chain quality, known as TL 9000. Earlier in 2020, TIA published a position paper outlining the need for an industry-driven standard and later announced it would work with industry to create an annex to the TL 9000 standard to include specific criteria that addresses ICT supply chain security.
Industry discussions like this are critical to the success of the IoT, and we look forward to checking this one out.
For in-person discussions of this type and many, many more, join us at next year’s IoT Evolution Expo 2021: It’s Time to Grow, taking place in Miami in February. Call for speakers now open.
