An interactive representation of a human in a virtual reality environment.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interactive, computer-generated simulated environment with which users can interact using specialized peripherals such as data gloves and head-mounted computer-graphic displays.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interchangeable subassembly that constitutes part of, i.e., is integrated into, a larger device or system. 2. In computer programming, a program unit that is discrete and identifiable with respect to compiling, combining with other modules, and loading.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interconnection between customer premises equipment and telephone central office.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interconnection of three or more communicating entities. 2. An interconnection of usually passive electronic components that performs a specific function (which is usually limited in scope,) e.g., to simulate a transmission line or to perform a mathematical function such as integration or differentiation. Note: A network may be part of a larger circuit.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interface between a network element (NE) to one or more network elements (NEs) in other locations using star configuration embedded operations channel (EOCs) or conventional communications services.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interface between a single-channel radio station (usually in a radio net) and switched communications systems.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interface device for coupling electrical signals by acoustical means--usually into and out of a telephone instrument. 2. A terminal device used to link data terminals and radio sets with the telephone network. Note: The link is achieved through acoustic (sound) signals rather than through direct electrical connection.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interface protocol for statistically multiplexed packet-switched data communications in which (a) variable-sized packets (frames) are used that completely enclose the user packets they transport, and (b) transmission rates are usually between 56 kb/s and 1. 544 Mb/s (the T-1 rate. ) Note 1: In frame relay, (a) there is neither flow-control nor an error-correction capability, (b) there is information-content independence, (c) there is a correspondence only to the ISO Open systems Interconnection--Reference Model Layers 1 and 2, (d) variable-sized user packets are enclosed in larger packets (frames) that add addressing and verification information, (e) frames may vary in length up to a design limit, usually 1 kilobyte or more, (f) one frame relay packet transports one user packet, (g) implementation of fast-packet technology is used for connection-oriented frame relay services, and (h) there is a capability to handle time-delay insensitive traffic, such as LAN interworking and image transfer. Note 2: Frame relay is referred to as the local management interface (LMI) standard and is specified in ANSI T1. 617.
Industry:Telecommunications
An interface providing access to services associated with the application's internal resources.
