New Standard Released for Portable Radios in Hazardous Locations

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) released "ANSI/TIA-4950 Requirements for Battery-Powered, Portable Land Mobile Radio Applications in Class I, II, and III, Division 1, Hazardous (Classified) Locations" last week, detailing a new, less rigid standard for equipment to be used in hazardous locations.

The document was developed with the intent to provide intrinsically safe set of requirements that don't impede the traditional levels of RF performance deployed in LMR systems, according to the TIA's statement.
