What is TIA-222-H?
- Full Title: TIA-222-H, "Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas"
- Published by: Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
- Status: Superseded. The current active version is TIA-222-I (latest revision). "H" is the previous revision.
- Scope: Specifies engineering and loading requirements for:
Load Calculations: It utilizes Ultimate Limit State (ULS) design, incorporating updated wind speed maps and seismic design parameters that match current ASCE 7 data.
standard, officially titled the Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures, Antennas and Small Wind Turbine Support Structures
Why a New Revision?
The telecom industry changes faster than the weather. With the rollout of 5G, we are seeing heavier antenna arrays (Massive MIMO) and a proliferation of small cells on light-duty poles. The old -G standard (released in 2015) did not fully account for these new loading scenarios or the latest wind engineering research. tia-222-h pdf
