Why does this matter operationally?
Performance
The measurable behaviour of a connectivity system under real operating conditions, including throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss. Performance determines whether applications and control systems receive data at the speed and consistency their operations require.

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…

Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation is the combination of multiple physical links into a single logical link for higher capacity or redundancy.
Protocol
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
Link Margin
Link margin is the excess of received signal quality over the minimum quality required to maintain the link at the target service level.
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.

Local Breakout
The practice of routing selected network traffic directly to its destination at or near the point of access rather than carrying it back through the core network first, reducing latency…
Concept/Framework
Local Loop
A local loop is the physical or logical access segment that links the customer premises to the service provider’s network edge. It is the final connection used to deliver access…
