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.
Describes a given point in the order completion process in which the circuit design is checked for accuracy and all assignments are verified/available.
Industry:Telecommunications
Describes acceptance testing procedures used when Switched Access Services are provided with a digital switch on digital facilities.
Industry:Telecommunications
Describes supremacy given to some Government and National Security circuits.
Industry:Telecommunications
Descriptive of a network or terminal that uses electromagnetic waves (including rf, infrared, laser, visible light–and acoustic energy) rather than wire conductors for telecommunications.
Industry:Telecommunications
Design allowances made to prevent or ameliorate the effects of gamma or high-energy neutron radiation or bombardment, that causes some optical fibers to darken, increase attenuation, or depart from normal operating parameters. Note: Light sources, such as LEDs and lasers, and photodetectors, also need to be hardened to prevent similar malfunctions.
Industry:Telecommunications
Detailed description of the safeguards required to protect an information system (IS. )
Industry:Telecommunications
Detectable transmitted energy that can be used to carry information. 2. A time-dependent variation of a characteristic of a physical phenomenon, used to convey information. 3. As applied to electronics, any transmitted electrical impulse. 4. Operationally, a type of message, the text of which consists of one or more letters, words, characters, signal flags, visual displays, or special sounds, with prearranged meaning and which is conveyed or transmitted by visual, acoustical, or electrical means.
Industry:Telecommunications
Determination of the orbit, velocity or instantaneous position of an object in space by means of radiodetermination, excluding primary radar, for the purpose of following the movement of the object.
Industry:Telecommunications
Determining that a message has not been changed since leaving its point of transmission, where: (a) the identity of the originator is verified, and (b) the source, uniqueness, and integrity of the message are verified.
Industry:Telecommunications
Developed in Switzerland and licensed for non-commercial use in PGP. IDEA uses a 128 bit user supplied key to perform a series of nonlinear mathematical transformations on a 64 bit data block. Compare the length of this key with the 56 bits in DES or the 80 bits in Clipper.
