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.

Microgrid
A localized electrical grid with its own generation, storage, and distribution infrastructure, capable of operating either connected to the main utility grid or independently in island mode, serving a defined…
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…
Concept/Framework
Middle Mile
Middle Mile is the transport segment between local access networks and core or aggregation infrastructure that carries traffic beyond the access edge.
Concept/Framework
Midhaul Transport
Midhaul Transport is the transport segment that connects radio or access network elements to aggregation or core parts of the network.
Protocol
Mining IoT
The application of connected sensor and device technology to mining operations, encompassing environmental monitoring, equipment condition sensing, personnel tracking, and process automation across both surface and underground deployment contexts.
Concept/Framework
Mission Assurance
Mission Assurance is the practice of ensuring that mission objectives can be achieved with acceptable risk across design, operations, and recovery.
Operations
Mission Control Center
Mission Control Center is a facility or operating center that monitors, controls, and coordinates the operation of a mission or remote asset set.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network
A self-organizing, infrastructure-less mesh network composed specifically of mobile nodes that continuously establish, adjust, and tear down connections to neighbors as they move, requiring routing protocols designed for frequent, unpredictable…
Concept/Framework
Mobile Command Node
Mobile Command Node is a movable command and communications point that can coordinate operations from a field location. It supports command functions outside fixed sites.
Hardware
Model Drift
Model Drift is the divergence between a trained model's expected behavior and its observed behavior in production as input data, operating conditions, or target relationships change over time.
