In telecommunication, an area broadcast shift or radio watch shift is the changing from listening to radio transmissions intended for one broadcast area to listening to transmissions intended for another broadcast area.
An area broadcast shift may occur when a ship or aircraft crosses the boundary between listening areas.
Shift times, on the date a ship or aircraft is expected to pass into another area, must be strictly observed or the ship or aircraft will miss messages intended for it.

Alternate party diversion is an optional feature of telephone services, where a call may be routed to a different number based on time-out and precedence schemes set up by the customer.
In telecommunication, an air-ground worldwide communications system is a worldwide military network of ground stations that (a) provides two-way communications links between aircraft and ground stations for navigation and control, including air route traffic control and (b) may also provide support for special functions, such as for civil aircraft providing assistance to military missions and for meeting communications requirements for aircraft flying distinguished visitors.
To help compare different orders of magnitudes this page lists volumes between one and one thousand cubic gigametre (1027 to 1030 cubic metres). See also volumes or capacities of other orders of magnitude.
