Telecommunication industry performance

For each environment there may be numerous other specific considerations that are germane to a particular application, such as sewer or shipboard environments, or to an installation method, such as aerial self-supporting or jetting into miniature ducts. As with the optical fibers there are a number of unique cable designs optimized for various combinations of application and installation method. The performance criteria for the most common designs are also specified by the various telecommunications industry forums, which will be discussed at the end of this section. 

In an effort to hasten the development of digital cellular, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) issued a user performance requirements (UPR) document in 1988 that outlined the service requirements. Key elements of the UPR were... 

Telecommunication industry today requires high volume efficiency without the degradation of electrical performance of the devices. In order to reduce the size of microwave devices in communication systems, the dielectric component must also be miniaturized. The... 

That said some industries appear to value the use of strategy tools and techniques more than others. The top performance scores for both firm and function combined were recorded in the Basic Chemicals (0.80), the Confectionery (0.78), the Computer Hardware (0.76), the Media Entertainment (0.75), IT Solutions (0.73), and Construction (0.71) industry sectors. The lowest combined performance scores were reported in the Publishing (0.43), Transport Equipment (0.56) and Aerospace (0.57) sectors. In the middle performance rank came Power Water (0.62), Retail Financial Services, Telecommunications and Tourism Leisure (all scoring 0.63), Retail Distribution (0.65), Oil Gas (0.66) and, finally. Healthcare (0.69). 

This section applies to special industries as defined by OSHA. These special industries include paper, pulp and paperboard mills, textile mills, bakeries, laundries, and sawmills. Other industries covered are puipwood logging agricultural operations telecommunications electric-power generation, transmission, and distribution and finally, grain-handling facilities. These special industries are trades that perform specific tasks that are very distinct and, in turn, set standards for their own industries. 

This book provides up-to-date-information concerning the synthesis, structure, rheology, processing, performance, and applications of LCPs. This information will be useful to those industries using LCPs for electronics telecommunications and fiber optics appliances consumer goods and automotive, marine, and aerospace apphcations.
