Telecommunication Standards Acquisition Resource
Note: The TSAR project has been discontinued due to a lack of funding. This information is left here for viewers who would like to see what the TSAR was all about. Information on how the project was designed can be obtained from the authors.
The Institute's Federal Telecommunications Standards Database project addresses the need for a readily accessible and user-friendly computer database service to provide key information on standards used in Federal telecommunications procurement. The service is targeted towards two primary user communities: persons involved in Government acquisition of telecommunications equipment and services and the writers of future telecommunication standards.
Many new features were added to the TSAR in Fiscal Year
1993.
