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 user providing the information to be transferred to a destination user during a particular information transfer transaction. Synonym information source.
Industry:Telecommunications
Untranslated address information collected/received from the originating line/trunk.
Industry:Telecommunications
The testing of selected channels or paths by providing a very brief beacon-like identifying broadcast that may be used by other stations to evaluate connectivity, propagation, and availability, and to identify known working channels for possible later use for communications or calling. Note 1: Automatic soundings are primarily intended to increase the efficiency of the automatic link establishment (ALE) function, thereby increasing system throughput. Note 2: Sounding information is used for identifying the specific channel to be used for a particular ALE connectivity attempt.
Industry:Telecommunications
The state existing between two parties such that they share at least one cryptographic key.
Industry:Telecommunications
The time between (a) the instant a connection, i.e., off-hook condition at each end, is established between the call originator and the call receiver and (b) the instant the call originator or the call receiver terminates the call. 2. In data transmission, the duration of the information transfer phase of an information transfer transaction.
Industry:Telecommunications
Within a laser, the material that emits coherent radiation or exhibits gain as the result of electronic or molecular transitions to a lower energy state or states, from a higher energy state or states to which it had been previously stimulated. Note: Examples of active laser media include certain crystals, gases, glasses, liquids, and semiconductors. Synonym laser medium.
Industry:Telecommunications
The transfer of energy from one circuit to another by virtue of the mutual inductance between the circuits. Note 1: Inductive coupling may be deliberate and desired (as in an antenna coupler) or may be undesired (as in power line inductive coupling into telephone lines. ) Note 2: Capacitive coupling favors transfer of higher frequency components, whereas inductive coupling favors transfer of lower frequency components.
Industry:Telecommunications
Unauthorized access to a momentarily inactive terminal, of a legitimate user, assigned to a communications channel.
Industry:Telecommunications
Training that (a) in which usually live instruction is conveyed in real time via telecommunications facilities, (b) that may be accomplished on a point-to-point basis or on a point-to-multipoint basis, and (c) may assume many forms, such as a teleseminar, a teleconference, or an electronic classroom, usually including both audio and video. Synonyms distance learning, distance training, electronic classroom, virtual instruction.
Industry:Telecommunications
The translation of user requirements for the exchange of information into cost-effective and low-risk technical solutions in terms of equipment and subsystems. Note: Communications system engineering encompasses the integration of these parts into a complete entity resulting in a minimum investment for the entire system life cycle required to satisfy the requirements of a majority of users of the communication system.
