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.

Mast Shadowing
Mast Shadowing is signal obstruction or attenuation caused by a mast blocking the RF path between an antenna and its target.

Mechanically-Steered Antenna
A mechanically-steered antenna is a directional antenna system that uses motors or other mechanical actuators to alter pointing direction and maintain alignment with a target. It is used when physical…

MEO
MEO is medium Earth orbit, an orbital regime between low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit used by some satellite systems for communications and navigation.
Concept/Framework
Merchant Vessel Broadband
Merchant Vessel Broadband is the broadband connectivity service environment used on commercial cargo and trading vessels. It provides shipboard broadband access.
Service Model
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.

Metrics
Metrics are quantitative measures used to observe or compare the behavior or performance of a system or service. They provide numeric data for monitoring and analysis.
Operations
Metro Network
The transport infrastructure layer connecting access sites, aggregation points, and data centers within a single metropolitan area or region, built on optical transport and carrier service technologies, sitting between local…
Concept/Framework
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.

Microwave Backhaul
A mobile backhaul implementation using a point-to-point microwave radio link between a base station and the core network or an aggregation point, requiring unobstructed line-of-sight between the two endpoints, providing…
Concept/Framework
Microwave Link
A microwave link is a directional wireless communications path that uses microwave frequencies to connect two fixed endpoints. It typically forms a transport link for backhaul, intersite connectivity, or critical…
