Communications System
  • A collection of individual communication networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and terminal equipment capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integral whole.

See also common control system, communications, error-correcting system, error-detecting system, hybrid communication network, link, neutral direct current telegraph system, polarential telegraph system, protected distribution system, switching system, tactical communications system, wideband.
