Low-performance Equipment

In telecommunication, the term low-performance equipment has the following meanings:
  • Equipment that has imprecise characteristics that do not meet system reliability requirements.
  • In military communications, equipment that has insufficiently exacting characteristics to permit its use in trunks or links.
Note: Low-performance equipment may be used in loops if it meets loop performance requirements.
  • Tactical ground and airborne equipment that (a) has size, weight, and complexity characteristics that must be kept to a minimum and (b) is used in systems that have components with similar minimum performance characteristics.
