TIA’s ‘Green’ Drive Environmental Regulatory Tracking
2
Tracking and analyzing environmental regulations worldwide
TIA’s Green Initiative includes an Environmental Intelligence Analysis service, EIATRACK, which monitors, translates and analyzes product-oriented legislation and regulation worldwide. The service covers: RoHS – Restriction of Hazardous
Substances WEEE – Waste of Electronic and
Electrical Equipment REACH – Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances
EuP - Energy using Products DfE - Design for the Environment Energy Efficiency Packaging and Labeling
TIA’s ‘Green’ Drive Market Intelligence – Green Addendum
TIA produces annual ICT Market Review & Forecast
New ICT Green Addendum gives trends, stats and facts on current environmental issues
Forecasts future directions Provides ICT industry business
case for going green ICT Market Review & Forecast

TIA’s ‘Green’ Drive ICT Green Virtual Event
The Sustainability Virtual Summit in March 2010• Many companies
participated and received qualified leads as a result of the summit
TIA ICT Green Boot
Camp held on March 18, 2010 • Featured interactive panel
discussions on green design and market access, policy and the low-carbon economy and business opportunities in Green ICT
TIA’s ‘Green’ Drive e-cyclingcentral.com
TIA’s E-cycling Central Website maintains information for consumers and businesses on recycling centers in their region that accept electronics
TIA’s ‘Green’ DrivePolicy Focus
Green Briefing on Capitol HillPlanned for the fall of 2010
Green ICT Policy News (under development)
• Weekly update on policy activities related to open proceedings, dockets, and activities in DC
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.

Next Steps/Actions
Continued focus on development of standards (e.g., Smart Grid, M2M, Data Centers) to support technologies, projects and features relative to energy efficiencies and green environment
