P25 Suite of Standards
• The P25 Standard is not just one document.
• It is a suite of over 65 Standard documents and over 20 TIA
Telecommunication Systems Bulletins.
• P25 Steering Committee Approved List of Documents

• Core Definition documents are those TIA-102 standards
documents that enable manufacturers to independently
develop and implement interoperable equipment.
• Test documents are those TIA-102 standards documents that
enable manufacturers to verify that their product
implementation adheres to the respective core definition
documents in a consistent manner

TIA TR-8 and Project 25
•A Memorandum of Understanding (The MoU) defines the roles,
responsibilities, and the relationship between TIA and P25
TIA
TR-8
•APCO Project 25 Interface Committee (APIC) Task Groups are a forum
of User Agency representatives and Industry representatives
•TIA TR-8 Subcommittees create and maintain normative Standards
and informative Telecommunication Systems Bulletins (TSB)
•Project 25 Steering Committee selects TIA documents for inclusion in
the P25 Standard

P25 Process Example
• User Needs Statement of Requirements identifies a need
for a standard to enable interoperability
• Standard Core Definition Document Development
– APIC Task Group develops a draft Standard
– TR-8 Subcommittee prepares the Standard for publication
– Project 25 Steering Committee adopts the TIA Standard as part of
the suite of P25 Standards
– TIA publishes and maintains the P25 Standard
• Standard Test Document Development
– APIC Task Group develops tests associated with the standard
(Performance, Interoperability, Conformance)
– TR-8 Subcommittee prepares the Standard Tests for publication
– Project 25 Steering Committee adopts the TIA Standard Tests as
part of the suite of P25 Standards
– TIA publishes and maintains the P25 Standard Tests

TIA TR-8.25 Subcommittee;
• Mission and Scope excerpts:
– The Compliance Assessment Subcommittee shall be responsible for resolution of
compliance assessment related questions.
– The Compliance Assessment Subcommittee will also be responsible for the
development and publication approval of identified TIA standards for Project 25
Conformance, Performance (i.e. measurement methods), and Interoperability
not assigned to other TIA TR-8 subcommittees.
• Recommended Compliance Assessment Test (RCAT TSBs)
Development
– Telecommunications Systems Bulletins (Informative TIA publication)
– List of tests suitable for assessing P25 compliance
– Created by the creators of the Standards and Standard Test documents
• Industry and User Agency representatives
– Project 25 Steering Committee adopts the TIA RCAT TSB as part of the suite of
P25 Standards
– TIA publishes and maintains the P25 RCAT TSB
– P25 Steering Committee forwards P25 RCAT TSB to P25 CAP for consideration
