Question 27/XV - Terminology for transmission equipment, media and
systems (Continuation of Question 27/XV 1985-88)

Considering

(1) that the continued work on Recommendations often requires new terms
and definitions to be established;

standardized as far as possible,

What new terms and definitions relating to transmission equipment, media
and systems should be standardized and recommended? (e.g. see annex).
