Some common terminologies used in SUBISU

ISP: Internet Service Provider

ISO: International Organization for Standardization
QMS: Quality Management System (QMS) is a formalized system that documents processes,
procedures, and responsibilities for achieving quality policies and objectives.
DOCSIS: Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification is an international
telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-bandwidth data transfer to an
existing cable TV (CATV) system.
GPON: A PON (passive optical network) is a fiber network that only uses fiber and passive
components like splitters and combiners rather than active components like amplifiers, repeaters,
or shaping circuits. PONs also is called fiber to the home (FTTH) networks. Gigabit PON
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
Gigabit Ethernet PON or GEPON
HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) is a telecommunications industry term for a broadband network that
combines optical fiber and coaxial cable.
CMS:
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a technical standard for accessing information over a
mobile wireless network. A WAP browser is a web browser for mobile devices such as mobile
phones that uses the protocol.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating web pages
and web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript, it forms a triad of
cornerstone technologies for the World Wide Web.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a type of data-carrying technique for high-
performance telecommunications networks. MPLS directs data from one network node to the
next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in
a routing table.
A multi-channel network (MCN) is an organization that works with video platforms such as
YouTube, to offer assistance to a channel owner in areas such as "product, programming,
funding, cross-promotion, partner management, digital rights management, monetization/sales,
and/or audience development" in exchange for a percentage of the ad revenue from the channel.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited
area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more
devices using wireless communication within a limited area such as a home, school, computer
laboratory, or office building.
Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called "fiber to the premises" (FTTP), is the installation and use
of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment
buildings and businesses to provide unprecedented high-speed Internet access.
An IPLC (international private leased circuit) is a point-to-point private line used by an
organization to communicate between offices that are geographically dispersed throughout the
world. An IPLC can be used for Internet access, business data exchange, video conferencing, and
any other form of telecommunication.
Wi-Fi is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide
wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. A common misconception is that the term
Wi-Fi is short for "wireless fidelity," however this is not the case. Wi-Fi is simply a
trademarked phrase that means IEEE 802.11x.
HTTP means Hypertext Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World
Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what
actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.
HTTPS: HTTP secure of encrypted data
(WMV) Windows Media Video is a series of video codecs and their corresponding video coding
formats developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Windows Media framework.
A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate,
analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data.
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is the name of a series of audio codecs and their corresponding
audio coding formats developed by Microsoft. It is a proprietary technology that forms part of
the Windows Media framework. WMA consists of four distinct codecs.
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data
compression. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics
Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most widely used lossless image compression format on
the Internet
A Wireless Bitmap (WBMP) is a graphic image format for use when sending Web content to
handheld wireless devices. The format is defined as part of the Wireless Application Protocol
(WAP), Wireless Application Environment (WAE) Specification. If you are creating Web
content that is directed to handheld phones or personal digital assistants (PDA) that have Web
access, you use the Wireless Markup Language (WML) to encode the page and its text.
Short for trusted computing base, TCB refers to the totality of protection mechanisms (hardware,
firmware and software) that provide a secure computing environment. The TCB includes
everything that must be trusted -- access control, authorization and authentication procedures,
cryptography, firewalls, virus protection, and data backup and even human administration -- in
order for the right level of security to work.
Optical network unit (ONU) is the user side equipment in the GEPON (Gigabit Ethernet Passive
Optical Network) system designed for indoor residential installation. Optical network unit is
used together with OLT in FTTH network.
The Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), also known as Open Document, is
an XML-based file format for spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing
documents.
A cable modem termination system or CMTS is a piece of equipment, typically located in a
cable company's head end or hub site, which is used to provide high speed data services, such as
cable Internet or Voice over Internet Protocol, to cable subscribers.
On the Internet, a point-of-presence (POP) is an access point from one place to the rest of the
Internet.
An optical line termination (OLT), also called an optical line terminal, is a device which serves
as the service provider endpoint of a passive optical network.
A splitter is a device used to split the cable signal if the signal must be sent to two or more
devices. Service technicians might install splitters if they activate additional outlets within your
home.
A trench is a type of excavation or depression in the ground that is generally deeper than it is
wide (as opposed to a wider gully, or ditch), and narrow compared with its length (as opposed to
a simple hole).
Ducts are conduits or passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to deliver and
remove air.
An enclosure is a cabinet for electrical or electronic equipment to mount switches, routers,
power supplies, Router BOARDs or UPS systems. Their job is to protect equipment from the
environment and ruggedize sensitive electronics and to protect users. The enclosure is typically
the only part of the equipment which is seen by users, so in many cases it is designed not only
for its utilitarian requirements, but also to be pleasing to the eye.

Splicing is to join together or unite (two ropes or parts of a rope) by the interweaving of strands.
