Standards directory

Standards directory

The TeleComm Standards Collections provides on CD-ROM more than 4500 technical standards, from various standards societies that control and regulate the telecommunications industry. The standards cover signal transmission, network construction, and protocols from associations including ANSI-T1, EIA/TIA, IEEE, UL, ISO, IEC, ITU-R (formerly CCIR), and ITU-T (formerly CCITT). Users of the directory may search the text by key word, document title or number, Boolean operators (e.g., find the word television but not analog), wildcard (search with just a piece of the word), and proximity to a search term (e.g., within one word or a full page of text). Other features allow a user to retrieve documents with a keystroke; insert bookmarks, create annotations; open multiple documents at the same time; and magnify, reduce, or rotate images. The collection, which has a Windows interface for a single user or for networks, also offers an automatic update service. Annual subscription is $7500.
