OUTSIDE PLANT ENGINEERING 101 is a series of guides that present a high-level view of Telecom Outside Plant Engineering to the new Outside Plant Engineer and the Telecom Manager. TELECOM ACRONYMS FOR THE OSP ENGINEER is a handy dandy guide to the acronyms that are used by the Telecom professional. This guide belongs on the desk of every OSP Engineer, and every Telecom Project Manager that works in the industry. Because It is impossible to include every acronym in the industry because every company can have it's very own, it is an incomplete list. Future editions will include those acronyms that become universal. Share this with your Telecom peers and see how communications and high level understanding improves!
