5 | Int/Ext Comms (Int/Ext Communications) |
|
Int/Ext Comms (Int/Ext Communications) Explanation: "Comms" is the customary abbreviation for "communications"... "Int/Ext Comms" would be the shortest way of saying it, but I think some people might find the juxtaposition of two abbreviations undesirable (personally I see nothing wrong with this particular case - both abbreviations are well known). Therefore I included the alternative "Int/Ext Communications". I can't think of another way really off the top of my head. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2012-02-14 11:00:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Page 20: INT/EXT COMMS http://portals.omg.org/dds/sites/default/files/dds_06-12-06.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2012-02-14 11:07:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Extercom - it's not something you hear too often, and in all honesty I don't think I've ever come across it before. However, that said, it would definitely be understood by your average (educated) speaker as implying "external communications". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2012-02-14 11:12:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "On the other hand, in a tank a full system would be deployed - two transceivers, one receiver, intercom for all crew members, extercom for personnel outside the vehicle and remote control over field telephone wire." http://www.greenradios.com/Radios/German/Sem/Sem25-35/Config... ...is one instance where Intercom/Extercom are used (in the context of radios to boot). I think you have the option of using either my suggestion, or going with Intercom/Extercom. |
