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.
Equipment designed to provide security to telecommunications by converting information to a form unintelligible to an unauthorized interceptor and, subsequently, by reconverting such information to its original form for authorized recipients; also, equipment designed specifically to aid in, or as an essential element of, the conversion process. Note: COMSEC equipment includes crypto-equipment, crypto-ancillary equipment, cryptoproduction equipment, and authentication equipment.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment for recording the video waveform so that the mapped images may be stored and later retrieved as the video waveform.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment or a combination of components ready for use in a COMSEC application.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment powered from a primary or secondary distribution of a centralized dc power system owned or operated by exchange and interexchange carriers.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment that (a) accommodates the transition from current manual and analog systems to fully automated digital systems and (b) provides for message switching, voice communications circuit switching, and the use of secure voice terminals, digital facsimile systems, and user digital voice terminals.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment that (a) has the performance characteristics required for use in trunks or links, (b) is designed primarily for use in global and tactical systems, and (c) sufficiently withstands electromagnetic interference when operating in a variety of network or point-to-point circuits. Note: Requirements for global and tactical high-performance equipment may differ.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment that has imprecise characteristics that do not meet system reliability requirements. 2. In military communications, equipment that has insufficiently exacting characteristics to permit its use in trunks or links. Note: Low-performance equipment may be used in loops if it meets loop performance requirements. 3. Tactical ground and airborne equipment that (a) has size, weight, and complexity characteristics that must be kept to a minimum and (b) is used in systems that have components with similar minimum performance characteristics.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment that is sufficiently rugged to withstand adverse environments. Note: A mudbox is expected to operate unsheltered on the ground.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment that measures the variables of a technical process, directs the process according to control signals from the process computer system, and provides appropriate signal transformation. Note: Examples of process control equipment include actuators, sensors, and transducers.
Industry:Telecommunications
Equipment that performs video teleconference functions, such as coding and decoding of audio and video signals and multiplexing of video, audio, data, and control signals, and that usually does not include I/O devices, cryptographic devices, network interface equipment, network connections, or the communications network to which the unit is connected.
