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.

Traffic Steering
Traffic steering is the control process that directs traffic toward selected paths, servers, or service points according to policy, state, or performance conditions. It is used to optimize delivery, locality,…
Concept/Framework
Transit
A paid interconnection service in which a network purchases access to the full internet routing table from an upstream provider, reaching any destination on the internet through that single relationship,…
Service Model
Translation State Table
A translation state table is a data structure that records live mappings between original and translated session or address state. It is used to preserve continuity and correct handling across…
Software
Transparent Payload
Transparent Payload is a satellite payload that relays signals without significant onboard regeneration or processing.
Hardware
Transponder
Transponder is a device or subsystem that receives a signal, processes it, and retransmits it on another channel or frequency.
Hardware
Transport Network
A transport network is the set of links, nodes, and control functions that carry traffic between source and destination across a communications system. It provides the path structure that higher-level…
Concept/Framework
Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier
Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier is a high-power RF amplifier that uses a traveling wave tube to amplify microwave signals, delivering strong microwave output across wideband frequencies.
Hardware
Trunking
Trunking is the sharing of a common communication resource, such as radio channels or network links, among multiple users or services, improving resource utilization through dynamic allocation.
Operations
UDP
A connectionless transport protocol that sends discrete data packets without establishing a session, confirming delivery, or guaranteeing order, trading TCP's reliability guarantees for minimal overhead and lower latency.
Protocol
Ultra-Wideband
A short-range radio technology that transmits very short pulses spread across a wide slice of spectrum, enabling precise time-of-flight distance and position measurement substantially more accurate than conventional narrowband positioning…
