Any of the series of jacks, described in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, part 68, used to provide interface to the public telephone network.
Industry:Telecommunications
Any one of a number of automated e-mail distribution programs that provide a forum for information exchange for professional, educational, and special interest groups. Note: Subscribers yypost messages to the list address and messages are then distributed to all subscribers.
Industry:Telecommunications
Any one of a number of phenomena in which an electromagnetic wave interacts with a magnetic field, or with matter under the influence of a magnetic field. Note: The most important magneto-optic effect having application to optical communication is the Faraday effect, in which the plane of polarization is rotated under the influence of a magnetic field parallel to the direction of propagation. This effect may be used to modulate a lightwave.

Industry:Telecommunications
Any one of a number of phenomena that occur when an electromagnetic wave in the optical spectrum interacts with an electric field, or with matter under the influence of an electric field. Note 1: Two of the most important electro-optic effects having application as modulation mechanisms in optical communication are the Kerr effect and the Pockels effect, in which birefringence is induced or modified in a liquid (Kerr effect) or solid (Pockels effect. ) Note 2: The term "electro-optic" is often erroneously used as a synonym for "optoelectronic. "
Industry:Telecommunications
Any operating agency, as defined in the ITU Convention (Geneva, 1992,) which operates a public correspondence or broadcasting service and upon which the obligations provided for in Article 6 of the ITU Constitution are imposed by the Member in whose territory the head office of the agency is situated, or by the Member which has authorized this operating agency to establish and operate a telecommunication service on its territory. Formerly recognized private operating agency (RPOA. )
Industry:Telecommunications
Any operation in which each of the operands and the result take one of two values. Note: Typical states are "0 or 1," "on or off," "open or closed," or "present or absent. " 2. An operation that follows the rules of Boolean Algebra.
Industry:Telecommunications
Any operation which obtains either data or attributes from an object.
Industry:Telecommunications
Any orbit about the Earth, which orbit has a period equal to the period of rotation of the Earth about its axis, and in the same sense, i.e., direction, as the rotation of the Earth.
Industry:Telecommunications
Any orbit in which an orbiting object has a period equal to the average rotational period of the body being orbited, and in the same direction of rotation as that body. Note 1: A synchronous orbit need not be equatorial, but it usually is, ideally. A body in a nonequatorial synchronous orbit will, when observed from a fixed point on the orbited body, appear to move up and down, i.e., northward and southward. If the synchronous orbit is not perfectly circular, the orbiting body will appear to move back and forth, eastward and westward. The combination of these two motions will produce a figure-8 pattern as seen from the orbited body. Note 2: A synchronous orbit about the Earth that is circular and lies in the equatorial plane is called a geostationary orbit.
