Peering
An interconnection arrangement in which two networks exchange traffic directly with each other, typically without payment between the parties, providing reachability limited to each party's own networks and customers rather…
Concept/Framework
Phased Array Antenna
Phased Array Antenna is an antenna system that steers its beam electronically by controlling the phase of multiple radiating elements, enabling directional beam movement without mechanical structure rotation.
Hardware
Platform As A Service
Platform As A Service is a cloud model that provides an application platform and managed runtime so developers can build, deploy, and run applications without directly managing the underlying infrastructure.
Service Model
Port Address Translation
Port Address Translation is a form of address translation that maps multiple private addresses to a single public address using different port numbers. It extends basic NAT behavior.
Protocol
Port Community System
A neutral electronic platform connecting the public and private stakeholders within a port community — terminal operators, customs authorities, shipping agents, and vessel operators — that enables single-submission, multi-party electronic…
