Bring your traffic to the table
DTEA is open to organizations that move, carry or measure data at scale. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and there is no obligation to adopt any guidance the alliance publishes.
Workstream participation
Join the workstreams that match your traffic and help set what the alliance studies next.
Findings before publication
See validated results and drafts while they are still being argued over, not after they ship.
Shared validation
Test a practice across more than one operator's traffic before you commit engineering time to it.
Neutral ground
A forum where competitors can compare methods without disclosing commercially sensitive detail.
Direct peer access
Work alongside the engineers running the delivery chains you are trying to improve.
No conformity clause
Membership never obliges you to adopt guidance, or to be measured against it publicly.
