  2. TIA’s ‘Green’ DriveEnvironmental Regulatory Tracking 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

  3. TIA’s ‘Green’ DriveMarket 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 available now online and in limited print quantities • www.tiaonline.org/market_intelligence/

  4. TIA’s ‘Green’ DriveICT 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

  5. TIA’s ‘Green’ Drivee-cyclingcentral.com TIA’s E-cycling Central Website maintains information for consumers and businesses on recycling centers in their region that accept electronics

  6. TIA’s ‘Green’ DrivePolicy Focus • Green Briefing on Capitol Hill Planned 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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
