ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
The signal sent across an interface la or lb from the associated equipment.
Industry:Telecommunications
The simultaneous controlling of the characteristics of air, such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, motion, and pollutant concentration, in a space to meet the requirements of the occupants, a process, or equipment. Synonym environmental control.
Industry:Telecommunications
Two or more transformers interconnected to form a network having four ports that are conjugate in pairs. Note: The primary use of a hybrid set is to convert between 2-wire and 4-wire operation in concatenated sections of a communications circuit. Such conversion is necessary when repeaters are introduced in a 2-wire circuit.
Industry:Telecommunications
The systematic performance of operations upon data such as handling, merging, sorting, and computing. Note: The semantic content of the original data should not be changed. The semantic content of the processed data may be changed. Synonym information processing.
Industry:Telecommunications
The term applied to the basis of toll rate making which contemplates that the message toll service charge (telephone or TWX) covers the use made of all facilities between the originating station and the terminating station, including the stations, and the services rendered in connection therewith.
Industry:Telecommunications
The temperature of air or other media in a designated area, particularly the area surrounding equipment.
Industry:Telecommunications
The theoretical study of waiting lines, expressed in mathematical terms--including components such as number of waiting lines, number of servers, average wait time, number of queues or lines, and probabilities of queue times' either increasing or decreasing. Note: Queuing theory is directly applicable to network telecommunications, server queuing, mainframe computer queuing of telecommunications terminals, and advanced telecommunications systems.
Industry:Telecommunications
The total passive opposition offered to the flow of electric current. Note 1: Impedance is determined by the particular combination of resistance, inductive reactance, and capacitive reactance in a given circuit. Note 2: Impedance is a function of frequency, except in the case of purely resistive networks.
Industry:Telecommunications
With reference to point code, the ability of a local MTP (message transfer part) to send a message to the MTP at the remote signaling point.
Industry:Telecommunications
Two or more trunks of the same type between two given points.
