<communications> Nearly synchronised, a term describing a
communication system where transmitted signals have the same
nominal digital rate but are synchronised on different clocks.
According to ITU-T standards, corresponding signals are
plesiochronous if their significant instants occur at
nominally the same rate, with any variation in rate being
constrained within specified limits.
