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.

Monitoring
Monitoring is the operational process of measuring and evaluating system behavior so that abnormal conditions can be detected and acted on. It typically uses telemetry, thresholds, dashboards, and alerts to…

MPLS
MPLS is a packet-forwarding and traffic-engineering technology that directs network traffic using labels rather than traditional IP-only routing decisions.

Multi Cloud
Multi Cloud is the use of services from more than one cloud provider within a single organization or system strategy. It introduces provider diversity and integration needs.
Service Model
Multi-Orbit Connectivity
A satellite service model in which a user terminal or network connects through more than one orbital class — LEO, MEO, or GEO — either simultaneously or by switching between…
Concept/Framework
Multipath
Multipath is a radio propagation phenomenon in which transmitted energy arrives at the receiver over multiple reflected, refracted, or scattered paths. The resulting interference can change the observed signal quality.
Concept/Framework
Navigational Warning Dissemination
Navigational Warning Dissemination is the distribution of Maritime safety warnings and notices to vessels and operators. It provides navigational hazard information to inform operational decision-making and route adjustments.
Service Model
NAVTEX
A GMDSS subsystem that automatically broadcasts and receives navigational, meteorological, and maritime safety warnings over a dedicated medium-frequency radio channel, with receiving equipment aboard vessels automatically printing or displaying relevant…

Network Architecture
Network architecture is the design of the logical and physical arrangement of networking components and control functions used to deliver connectivity. It defines how traffic moves, where policy is enforced,…
Concept/Framework
Network Connectivity
Network connectivity is the condition in which networked systems can establish and maintain communication paths.
