TIA-B was initially established by the FIA to serve the needs of suppliers, installers, consultants and users in the field of telecommunications infrastructures previously served by the UK CITA organisation (formerly the UK TIA).

Director, Mike Gilmore

The agreement of the ECA-ITEC to co-host the TIA-B allowed all technical aspects of infrastructure (copper, optical fibre and electrical) to be supported.

The decision of CMA to become involved provided the final piece of the jigsaw enabling users to both benefit from and directly influence the TIA-B activities.

TIA-B was not intended to replace all the activities offered by CITA. The specific areas of activity addressed by TIA-B are those that were covered by the following CITA SIGs:
SIG/2/1
Commercial Building Networks
Infrastructure
SIG/2/2
Residential Buildings Networks
Infrastructure
SIG/2/3
Public Networks Infrastructure
SIG/2/4
Wireless Networks Infrastructure
SIG/8
Consultancy Services Advisory Group
(Consultancy Firms, Law Firms and
Advisors)

TIA-B has replaced the Special Interest Group (SIG) system operated by CITA in favour of a fast reaction Project Team approach.
