OPTXS develops and recommends standards and prepares technical reports related to telecommunications network technology pertaining to network synchronization interfaces and hierarchical structures for U.S. telecommunications networks: some of which are associated with other telecommunications networks. OPTXS focuses on those functions and characteristics necessary to define and establish the interconnection of signals comprising network transport. This includes aspects of both asynchronous and synchronous networks. OPTXS also makes recommendations on related subject matter under consideration in various North American and international standards organizations.
SCOPE
The Scope of the work undertaken by the Optical Transport and Synchronization Committee includes the concept, definition, analysis and documentation of matters pertaining to the interconnection of network transport signals. All theoretical and analytical work necessary to support the documented results is generated or coordinated by the committee. This requires close liaison with other ATIS Committees as well as standards organizations external to ATIS.
