What Is Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)?

The Telecommunications Industry Association is the trade association for the tech industry. You know how you're always talking on your cell phone, but you don't know what it's called? It's a telecommunications device. You know how you're always looking at your smartphone, but you don't know what it's called? It's a telecommunications terminal. Do you know how you always watch Netflix on your tablet to avoid interacting with people? That's a telecommunications terminal too! The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is an organization that helps develop standards for all kinds of tech products like these—and it has been doing so since 1988. The TIA has its accreditation system, which means that it can develop standards itself instead of waiting for someone else to do it first; this way, it can keep up with the latest technologies and ensure everything works together seamlessly. TIA is the place to be if you want to know what's coming next. We're a global organization representing the information and communications technology industries. We're constantly looking for new ideas, gadgets, and ways of doing things. We develop standards, work with governments and legislators worldwide to ensure that our industry stays ahead of the curve, offer market intelligence and business opportunities, help businesses comply with regulations in every corner of the globe and certify products that meet those standards. What does all this mean? It means we are always looking for new ways to improve your life—and we can't wait to see what you come up with next! The TIA aims to enhance the business environment for the organizations involved in broadband, telecommunications, information technology, mobile wireless technology, cabling and satellite, networking, unified and emergency communications, and further "greenifying" technology. In other words: we're here to help you make money!
