Line of Sight
Line of sight is the direct, unobstructed path between two points that allows radio energy to travel without significant blocking by terrain or structures. It is a key condition for…
Concept/Framework
Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation is the combination of multiple physical links into a single logical link for higher capacity or redundancy.

Link Availability
Link availability is the fraction or percentage of time that a communications path can successfully support service within acceptable performance thresholds. It is a measure of operational readiness and continuity…
Concept/Framework
Link Budget
A link budget is a calculation that sums all gains, losses, and noise contributions in a wireless communication path to estimate received signal quality. The result shows whether the intended…
Concept/Framework
Load Balancer
A Load Balancer is a system that distributes traffic or workloads across multiple resources. It improves availability, utilization, and service performance.
Software
Load Balancing
Load Balancing is the distribution of traffic or workload across multiple resources so no single resource becomes overloaded.
