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.
A telecommunication system that transfers analog and digital traffic over the same switched network.
Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications cable in which one or more optical fibers are used as the propagation medium. Note 1: The optical fibers are surrounded by buffers, strength members, and jackets for protection, stiffness, and strength. Note 2: A fiber-optic cable may be an all-fiber cable, or contain both optical fibers and metallic conductors. One possible use for the metallic conductors is the transmission of electric power for repeaters. Synonyms optical cable, optical fiber cable.

Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications cable in which optical fiber cable and coaxial cable constitute different portions of a network carrying broadband content (such as video, data, and voice. ) Typically, a local CATV company might use fiber optic cable from the cable headend (distribution center) to the serving node located near business and residential users, and then use coaxial cable from these nodes to individual businesses and homes. An advantage of HFC is that some of the characteristics of fiber optic cable (high bandwidth and low noise/low interference susceptibility) can be brought close to the user without having to replace the entire existing coaxial cable that is installed.
Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications common carrier that is also engaged in the business of providing landline local exchange telephone service.
Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications common carrier that provides radio communications services but is not engaged in the business of providing landline local exchange telephone service.
Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications network architecture that uses databases to facilitate call processing, call routing, and network management, allowing carriers to change the routing of both inbound and outbound calls from moment to moment. 2. A proposed intelligent-network (IN) architecture that includes both IN/1+ and IN/2 concepts.
Industry:Telecommunications
A Telecommunications or automated information system signal that would divulge classified information if recovered and analyzed. 2. In cryptographic systems, a signal containing classified information that has NOT been encrypted. 3. Any electronic emission (e.g., plain text, key, key stream, subkey stream, initial fill, or control signal) that would divulge national security information if recovered.
Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications process that produces an electronic message that is transmitted, received, stored or archived, and may be retrieved. 2. A telecommunications process, that produces a hard copy record of the transmission, such as a teletypewriter printout or a facsimile printout. 3. Any transmission of intelligence which is reduced to visual record form at the point of reception.
Industry:Telecommunications
A telecommunications service provided via one or more satellite relays and their associated uplinks and downlinks.
