In telecommunications, “FX” commonly refers to “Foreign Exchange,” and it is often associated with specific types of telecommunication services and equipment. Here are two common contexts where “FX” is used: Foreign Exchange (FX) Lines: In the context of telephony, Foreign Exchange (FX) lines are telephone lines that appear to be local to a specific geographic … Read more
GAN, or Generic Access Network, in telecommunications, refers to a network architecture that allows mobile devices to seamlessly switch between various wireless networks, such as cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The primary goal of GAN is to provide users with continuous connectivity and enable their devices to use the most suitable and cost-effective network available … Read more
In the context of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) and SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) are essential network elements that play distinct roles in the packet-switched mobile data communication system. GPRS is a technology that enables the efficient transmission of data over GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) networks. GGSN … Read more
GMSK, or Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying, is a modulation scheme used in GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) for the transmission of data over radio channels. It is a form of digital modulation that is particularly well-suited for efficient and reliable communication in mobile networks. GMSK is employed in GSM to modulate the digital signals … Read more
FTTH, or Fiber to the Home, is a telecommunications infrastructure that involves the deployment of optical fiber directly to individual residences or businesses. In an FTTH network, the entire communication path, from the central office or exchange to the customer’s premises, is comprised of optical fiber. This technology provides high-speed broadband services with significant bandwidth … Read more
FTTP, or Fiber to the Premises, is a telecommunications infrastructure that involves the deployment of optical fiber directly to individual residences, businesses, or other premises. Similar to FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTP encompasses a broader scope by including various types of premises beyond just residential homes. The key characteristic of FTTP is the direct … Read more
Full duplex in telecommunications refers to a communication mode in which data transmission can occur simultaneously in both directions—simultaneous two-way communication. In a full-duplex communication system, devices can both send and receive data at the same time, allowing for more efficient and continuous interaction. This is in contrast to half-duplex communication, where devices can either … Read more
FWA, or Fixed Wireless Access, is a telecommunications technology that provides high-speed internet access to fixed locations using wireless communication. Unlike mobile wireless technologies that support devices in motion, FWA is designed for stationary locations, such as homes and businesses. It typically involves the deployment of wireless connections between a fixed base station or access … Read more
Fixed Wireless in telecommunications refers to the deployment of wireless communication links between two fixed points, typically for the purpose of providing broadband internet access or point-to-point connectivity. Unlike mobile wireless technologies that support mobile devices in motion, fixed wireless is used to establish stable connections between stationary locations, such as homes, businesses, or network … Read more
FMC, or Fixed-Mobile Convergence, is a telecommunications strategy that aims to integrate and unify fixed-line (wired) and mobile (wireless) communication services, providing users with a seamless and consistent experience across various devices and network types. The goal of FMC is to enable users to access communication services, such as voice, data, and multimedia, from any … Read more
