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 coast station which makes scheduled broadcasts of time, meteorological, and hydrographic information.
Industry:Telecommunications
A coaxial cable in which air is the primary dielectric (insulator) between the inner and outer conductors. Note: Proper separation between the inner and outer conductors is maintained by a continuous helical insulator or a series of insulating washers spaced at regular intervals.
Industry:Telecommunications
A code (dialed by the user) to select a specific service provided by the entity to which the code is assigned by the NANPA (North American Numbering Plan Administration); the code used is either 10xxx or 101xxxX where the Xs represent the 3- or 4-digit code that was assigned. The originating switch uses the code to route the call to a specific trunk group.
Industry:Telecommunications
A code (or codes) used to select/activate a service feature (e.g., forwarding, using two- or three-digit codes preceded by * or 1 1 or #, and which may precede subsequent digit selection. )
Industry:Telecommunications
A code according to which data are represented through the use of an alphabetic character set.
Industry:Telecommunications
A code chosen for use within a communications system for transmission purposes. Note 1: A line code may differ from the code generated at a user terminal, and thus may require translation. Note 2: A line code may, for example, reflect a requirement of the transmission medium, e.g., optical fiber versus shielded twisted pair.
Industry:Telecommunications
A code constructed so that any partial code word, beginning at the start of a code word but terminating prior to the end of that code word, is not a valid code word. Note 1: The comma-free property permits the proper framing of transmitted code words when (a) external synchronization is provided to identify the start of the first code word in a sequence of code words and (b) no uncorrected errors occur in the symbol stream. Note 2: Examples of comma-free are the variable-length Huffman codes. Synonym prefix-free code.
