Tampa International Airport (TPA) Final Control handles arriving aircraft to Tampa from approximately 30 miles from the airport to about a 5 mile final, where they are turned-over to the tower. The descriptions of sectors and airports controlled are somewhat simplified but they give one an idea of who controls what. Some positions combine to others when traffic permits. Connections to the tower and burning grooves in tower members due to the load line being to close to the tower face. D.) Use the maintenance and condition assessment guidelines from Annex J of TIA/EIA RS 222-G. E.) Include an inventory of existing equipment with the inspection.
Logo of Telecommunications Industry Association
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop voluntary, consensus-based industry standards for a wide variety of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) products, and currently represents nearly 400 companies. TIA's Standards and Technology Department operates twelve engineering committees, which develop guidelines for private radio equipment, cellular towers, data terminals, satellites, telephone terminal equipment, accessibility, VoIP devices, structured cabling, data centers, mobile device communications, multimedia multicast, vehicular telematics, healthcare ICT, machine to machine communications, and smart utility networks.
Overall, more than 500 active participants, communications equipment manufacturers, service providers, government agencies, academic institutions, and end-users are engaged in TIA's standards setting process. To ensure that these standards become incorporated globally, TIA is also engaged in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).[1]
TIA Standards[edit]
The Telecommunications Industry Assoc's most widely adopted standards include:
- TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers[2]
- TIA-568-C (telecommunications cabling standards, used by nearly all voice, video and data networks).[3]
- TIA-569-B Commercial Building Standards for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces[4]
- TIA-607-B (Commercial grounding - earthing - standards)[5]
- TIA-598-C (Fiber optic color-coding)[6]
- TIA-222-G Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas[7]
- TIA-602-A Data Transmission Systems and Equipment, which standardized the common basic Hayes command set.[8]
- TIA-102 - Land Mobile Communications for Public Safety (APCO/P25)
Participating in TIA Standards Development[edit]
TIA encourages engineers who represent the manufacturers and/or users of network equipment technology products and services (from both the public and private sectors), to become engaged in TIA's engineering committees, by voting and submitting technical contributions for inclusion in future standards.
Collaborative Activities[edit]
TIA is a participating standards organization of the ITU-T Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) initiative. The GSC has created a Machine-to-Machine Standardization Task Force (MSTF) to foster industry collaboration on standards across different vertical markets, such as finance, e-health, connected vehicles, and utilities.[9]
Legislation[edit]
TIA supported the E-LABEL Act (H.R. 5161; 113th Congress), a bill that would direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow manufacturers of electronic devices with a screen to display information required by the agency digitally on the screen rather than on a label affixed to the device.[10][11] Grant Seiffert argued that 'by granting device manufacturers the ability to use e-labels, the legislation eases the technical and logistical burdens on manufactures and improves consumer access to important device information.'[12]

Taejin's Tower is a location on Gran Pulse in Final Fantasy XIII. It is a large tower amid the wilderness overlooking the village of Oerba. Taejin's Tower is an ancient structure built by the fal'Cie for purposes unknown before serving as home to the fal'Cie Dahaka. What once towered the Pulse sky is now broken and crumbling, but most of its mechanisms still function, including the living statues called Menhirrim imprisoned by Dahaka.
Later, Bhakti's bonus tip #10 explains that the party can climb to the top of the tower and ride the elevator back down all seven flights, which allows the player to find a hidden seventh tier and battle an UndyingCie'th.

This towering spire was built by the fal'Cie in ages past. While the purpose of the structure is unclear, its original height suggests that the mighty beings sought to pierce even the heavens in their insatiable quest for expansion.
No matter the reason for its construction, the tower now lies in ruin, its great spine snapped, and its crumbling interior serving as a lair for the fal'Cie Dahaka.
Story Edit
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.(Skip section)
The party ventures through the tower on their way to Oerba and must take on a series of missions from the resident statues, whose powers are held in check by the monsters inhabiting the tower. Completing the missions allows the statues to spin the tower's segments into alignment, opening the path upward.
As they approach the top, the fal'Cie Dahaka approaches the party, but is beaten back by the now-freed statues. At the tower's apex, the wounded fal'Cie attacks directly but is defeated. As the party gazes out from the top of the tower, Fang and Vanille are disappointed to discover their hometown looks dilapidated and barren, instead of the grove of flowers they recall from their memories. Despite this, the party decides to ride a capsule down the slope to Oerba to take a closer look.

QuestsEdit
Seventh TierEdit
There is a second elevator on the apex that leads to another tier. It can be activated after the boss at the top of the tower, Dahaka, has been defeated. The player can use this new elevator to get to the seventh tier where they find another statue. Activating that spins the tower allowing the main elevator to reach every tier.
MissionsEdit
Musical themes Edit
The first background theme heard at Taejin's Tower is 'The Vestige', the background theme heard at the Pulse Vestige. It is calm and mysterious, which suits the sight of the tower's palisades. Inside, Taejin's Tower's eponymous theme starts playing, and features a strange tune, reminiscent of electronics, mirroring the tower's mysterious structure and machinery.
The Taejin's Tower elevator has 'elevator's music'. Each times it moves (specifically reaches a floor), it plays classical music in the same mechanics like a music box. The music sounds more like wind chimes instead of digital sounds.
On the 'Taejin's Tower' theme, Mina Sakai, who performs the vocals for many background themes in the game, performed a traditional Ainu instrument called the mukkuri.[1]

Trivia Edit
- Building a tower up to reach the heavens may have been a fal'Cie plan on locating the Etro's gate. This is supported by the fal'Cie Dahaka making its abode atop the tower, a fal'Cie tasked with searching for the Gate from the skies of Gran Pulse. Thus, the tower may allude to the Biblical story of Tower of Babel where people attempted to build a tower tall enough to reach God, but the tower was struck down by Him.
