Generic Requirements (GRs)

The Telcordia GR Development Process

Generic Requirements (GRs) provide the Telcordia view of proposed generic criteria for telecommunications equipment, systems, or services considering a wide variety of factors, including interoperability, network integrity, participating-client expressed needs, and other inputs.

Pursuant to provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, regarding development of industry-wide generic requirements, Telcordia invites all interested parties to participate in its various GR development projects.

Listings by project status of Invitations to Participate are available by clicking on the links below (all in PDF format):

Telcordia reserves the right to withdraw from any open GR-development projects if Telcordia deems that there is insufficient industry interest or inadequate participation.

The most current Invitations to Participate in Telcordia GR projects can be found in the monthly Telcordia DIGEST of Technical Information. Monthly issues can be found here. For a free subscription, click here to send an e-mail request.
