Why Participate in the Development of Telcordia GRs? Here are a few reasons...

  • The GR development process facilitates cooperative and productive resolution of issues among participating companies by discussing such issues at a Telcordia Technical Forum (TTF). This can result in a faster deployment plan than traditional standards development and also address areas not covered in the typical standards arena.
  • GRs provide a common solution by seeking to ensure standardized, vendor-neutral, uniform procedures in focused business areas, with detailed technical content addressing the technology needs of GR users. Your company's participation can ensure its business needs are appropriately addressed and represented in the final GR document.
  • GRs are network implementable, unmatched in their level of detail, and have worldwide acceptance. Initial input from your company can impact worldwide business procedures.
  • An additional, quantifiable advantage to participating in the development of a Telcordia GR document is the Enterprise License (EL). Each participating company receives, as a provision of the contracted participation fee, an Enterprise License for the resulting GR document(s). With an EL, the document(s) can be made available to all of the participating-company employees.
