TSS Solutions history
TSS Solutions company history timeline
In 1991, TIA publishes ANSI/TIA-568, a requirement addressing structured cabling system standards for commercial buildings, and between buildings in campus environments for telecommunications products and services.
TSS Solutions was formed in 1991 by a team of highly creative engineers with the sole objective of providing the telecommunications industry with high quality, responsive, and cost-effective technical support services.
In 1991, just a few months after the world’s first website, software engineer Brian Wiles moved from the United States to work in the European office of Autodesk.
In 1994, NTCA established the Foundation for Rural Service, which supports rural telecom companies, consumers and policymakers with educational information, products and programming.
1998: Mobile satellite hand-held phones: The first canopy of 64 satellites was put into place by a company called Iridium in 1998.
In the fall of 2000, the MultiMedia Telecommunications Association (MMTA) is integrated into TIAand the association restructures internally to focus on global marketplace development.
As a sign of the changing times, the association officially changed its name in 2002 to the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association.
In 2007, TIA defines operating rules assigned for MEID and EUIM-ID Administration to identify mobile devices for recognition by the 3G network.
TIA successfully advocates for $7.2 Billion toward broadband infrastructure investment in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Another important broadband initiative for NTCA came in 2010 when the association and its rural allies launched a comprehensive Save Rural Broadband campaign to tout the critical need for broadband access for all Americans.
In 2011, TIA advocacy efforts lead to the addition of $9 Billion to the FCC’s Universal Service Fund (USF) and modernization of the program to include broadband.
The Gig-Certified Smart Rural Community Provider™ designation was a rebrand of the Gig-Certified Provider program that NTCA launched in 2015 to recognize NTCA members capable of delivering gigabit service to the vast majority of locations in an exchange.
The Cybersecurity Act of 2015 established the Department of Homeland Security as the portal for cyber threat information sharing with the government.
In 2017, the FCC completed the first-of-its-kind voluntary incentive auction to provide new spectrum for mobile broadband.
In 2017, NTCA established a members-only Cybersecurity Working Group focused on policy.
In 2017, Acorn Growth Companies, a private equity firm investing exclusively in the Aerospace, Defense and Intelligence industries acquired TSS. The acquisition marked Acorn’s first in the defense electronics segment.
The increased importance of broadband and the decline in traditional voice lines prompted NTCA in 2018 to change its dues formula so that dues would be based on broadband subscribers, rather than on voice lines, which had been the traditional method.
In 2019, NTCA celebrated both the 50th anniversary of the association’s Rural Broadband PAC, previously known as TECO, and the 25th anniversary of the Foundation for Rural Service.
In 2019, Telecommunication Support Services, Inc. officially changed our name to TSS Solutions.
Over the last decade, NTCA has focused on numerous key initiatives for rural telecom that remain a key focus in the 2020s.
