Working Groups
The program is managed by several working groups composed of subject matter experts from across the wireless industry. These groups define certification requirements, maintain test specifications, and guide program updates. Their collaborative work ensures that PTCRB certification keeps pace with evolving technologies while maintaining the highest standards of quality, interoperability, and network performance.
Composed of CTIA member network operators, this group provides direction to the PTCRB Plenary.
