'''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 [[United States copyright law|copyrighted]] sources: where this is the case, there is an attribution to the source.

This standard was superseded in 2001 by [[American National Standards Institute|American National Standard]] T1.523-2001, Telecom Glossary 2000, which is published by  [[Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions|ATIS]]. The old standard is still frequently used, because the new standard is protected by copyright, as usual for [[American National Standards Institute|ANSI]] standards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ansi.org/news_publications/news_story?menuid=7&articleid=5e86f650-bcb6-4995-b03b-097d5480aa12|title=U.S. District Court Rules in Favor of Copyright Protection for Standards Incorporated by Reference into Federal Regulations|website=www.ansi.org|access-date=2017-11-24}}</ref>

A newer proposed standard is the "ATIS Telecom Glossary 2011", ATIS-0100523.2011.
