Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
Object late binding is a runtime interpretation of messages. Using late binding, objects are integrated at runtime, as opposed to compiling an integrated object. This greatly enhances flexibility.
Industry:Technology
Object instance is a specific occurrence of an object. For example, a specific mail message document is an instance.
Industry:Technology
An object data model is a data model based on object-oriented programming, associating methods (procedures) with objects that can benefit from class hierarchies. Thus, “objects” are levels of abstraction that include attributes and behavior. An object-oriented data model is one that extends the individual program space into the world of persistent object management and shareability.
Industry:Technology
Object class is the grouping of objects that can be described in terms of the attributes its members have in common. Generic e-mail, for example, could be an object class, because all e-mail systems have certain things in common.
Industry:Technology
Apple’s mobile device that combines an iPod music and video player, mobile phone and Internet browser capability in a handheld unit with a touchscreen interface. An iPhone designed for EDGE cellular networks was launched in North America in June 2007 and in Europe in late 2007. A 3G-capable version was launched in July 2008.
Industry:Technology
Frequency range allocated from 17.7GHz on the downlink and to 30.6GHz on the uplink for use by satellite communication systems. Ka-band satellites deliver high-speed broadband Internet connectivity and digital video/audio transmission. Satellites in this frequency range are characterized by two-way or bidirectional communications capability; wider-bandwidth transponders that provide higher overall capacity spot beams that can direct or focus signal transmissions to areas of higher density/population; and more-efficient use of available spectrum through multiple reuse of the same frequency. Ka-band satellites can be implemented as GEO- and non-GEO satellite systems. See also Kurtz-under band (Ku-band), L-band and S-band.
Industry:Technology
A line attached to an IP-enabled PBX phone system that terminates with an IP phone or voice endpoint.
Industry:Technology
A customer-premises telephone switching system that has native IP switching and a TDM switching matrix, each delivering call-processing features and functions transparently between internal extensions (stations), whether the endpoint is an IP or traditional device. Typically, an IP-enabled product starts life as a traditional PBX, but is further developed to include IP capabilities. The traditional TDM switching matrix remains a part of the architecture, but a server-based processor capable of delivering voice traffic via packet switching has been added.
Industry:Technology
The term used for LAN-attached telephony systems and the associated telephone handsets (that is, the IP version of the PBX). More specifically, IP telephony involves the delivery of the telephony application (for example, call setup and teardown, and telephony features) over IP, instead of using circuit-switched or other modalities. IP telephony is not the same as VoIP or Internet telephony, although the terms are commonly (and erroneously) used interchangeably. See also Internet telephony and VoIP.
Industry:Technology
A telephony seat that is in use and part of an IP-enabled PBX or IP-PBX phone system that terminates with an IP phone.
