FOREWORD
(This foreword is not part of this Standard.)
This document is a TIA Telecommunications standard produced by Working Group TR-41.3.10 of Committee TR-41. This standard was developed in accordance with TIA procedural guidelines, and represents the consensus position of the Working Group and its parent Subcommittee TR-41.3, which served as the formulating group.
There are nine annexes in this Standard. Annex A, Annex C and Annex D are normative and are considered part of this Standard. Annex E, Annex F, Error: Reference source not found, Annex G, Annex H and Annex I are informative and are not considered part of this Standard. (AST – proposal to delete Annex E, see annex for details)
The leadership of the TR-41.3.10 Working Group (Chair: Al Baum, Uniden) acknowledges the written contributions provided by the following individuals in the development of this standard.
