Why does this matter operationally?
Resilience
The capacity of a connectivity system to maintain acceptable service levels when components fail, links degrade, or conditions change unexpectedly. Resilient architectures use redundancy, failover paths, and graceful degradation to keep operations running when ideal conditions cannot be guaranteed.

Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is Ethernet adapted for industrial automation environments. It uses Ethernet as the base transport while supporting operational requirements such as reliability, timing, and device integration.
Protocol
Industrial Network
An industrial network is the communications infrastructure that supports industrial control, monitoring, and operational connectivity across a plant, site, or distributed asset base. It includes protocols, segmentation, access control, and…
Service Model
Information Assurance
Information Assurance is the practice of preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and trust in information and information systems. It protects information system behavior and data.
Concept/Framework
Information Assurance For Satcom
Information Assurance For Satcom is the set of security, integrity, availability, and governance controls applied to satellite communications systems and traffic.
Concept/Framework
Infrastructure As A Service
Infrastructure As A Service is a cloud model that delivers virtualized infrastructure resources on demand. It provides compute, storage, and networking without requiring the consumer to manage the underlying hardware.
Service Model
Inter Satellite Link
An Inter Satellite Link is a communication path used for data exchange between satellites, enabling spacecraft to relay information directly in orbit.
Hardware
Interference
Interference is any undesired electromagnetic signal or emission that reduces the performance of a receiver or sensing system. It may be caused by co-channel overlap, adjacent-channel leakage, harmonic content, intermodulation,…
Concept/Framework
Interference Margin
Interference Margin is the headroom a communication link has before interference degrades service below acceptable levels. It is a planning measure used to assess resilience.
Operations
Interlock System
Interlock System is a safety or control system that prevents an action from occurring unless specified conditions are satisfied. It enforces safe sequencing and readiness.
Operations
Intermittent Connectivity
An operating environment in which a device or system experiences repeated gaps in network availability rather than continuous connectivity or permanent absence of it, requiring applications and protocols designed to…
