Template:Use American English Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Distinguish Federal Standard 1037C, titled Telecommunications: Glossary of Telecommunication Terms, is a United States Federal Standard issued by the General Services Administration pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended.<ref>Information Administration, National Telecommunication. 1997. Telecommunications Glossary of Telecommunications Terms. Lanham: Government Institutes. http://public.eblib.com/EBLPublic/PublicView.do?ptiID=1385085</ref>
This document provides federal departments and agencies a comprehensive source of definitions of terms used in telecommunications and directly related fields by international and U.S. government telecommunications specialists.
As a publication of the U.S. government, prepared by an agency of the U.S. government, it appears to be mostly available as a public domain resource, but a few items are derived from copyrighted sources: where this is the case, there is an attribution to the source.
This standard was superseded in 2001 by American National Standard T1.523-2001, Telecom Glossary 2000, which is published by ATIS. The old standard is still frequently used, because the new standard is protected by copyright, as usual for ANSI standards.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
A newer proposed standard is the "ATIS Telecom Glossary 2011", ATIS-0100523.2011.
