Why does this matter operationally?
Automation
The use of software-defined logic, AI inference, and closed-loop control to remove human decision-making from routine or time-critical operations. Connectivity is the prerequisite for automation — data must move reliably before any automated response can be trusted.

Mesh Satellite Network
Mesh Satellite Network is a satellite architecture in which satellites are interconnected through multiple communication paths. It supports distributed routing and resilience in space.
Concept/Framework
Message Queue
Message Queue is an asynchronous messaging system that stores messages temporarily so producers and consumers can operate independently. It decouples message senders from receivers.
Software
Microservices Architecture
Microservices Architecture is a software design approach in which an application is built as a set of small, independently deployable services. Each service handles a focused function.
Software
Mining IoT
The application of connected sensor and device technology to mining operations, encompassing environmental monitoring, equipment condition sensing, personnel tracking, and process automation across both surface and underground deployment contexts.
Concept/Framework
Mission Control Center
Mission Control Center is a facility or operating center that monitors, controls, and coordinates the operation of a mission or remote asset set.
Operations
Modbus
Modbus is an industrial communication protocol used for exchanging data between controllers, devices, and field equipment.
Protocol
Mode S
A secondary surveillance radar transponder protocol that assigns each aircraft a unique address, letting ground radar interrogate a specific aircraft individually, and supporting unsolicited periodic broadcast of aircraft data through…

Model Serving
Model Serving is the practice of deploying a trained machine learning or AI model within a hosting infrastructure — typically cloud-based — and exposing it through a network-accessible interface, such…

Monitoring
Monitoring is the operational process of measuring and evaluating system behavior so that abnormal conditions can be detected and acted on. It typically uses telemetry, thresholds, dashboards, and alerts to…

MQTT
A lightweight, broker-mediated publish-subscribe messaging protocol running over TCP/IP, designed to minimize message overhead and support constrained devices and unreliable or low-bandwidth network conditions, commonly used for IoT telemetry and…
