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.

Asset Monitoring
Asset Monitoring is the ongoing observation of asset condition, status, or utilization. It supports maintenance, reliability, and operational decision-making.
Software
Atmospheric Absorption
Atmospheric Absorption is the loss of electromagnetic energy as radio waves pass through the atmosphere due to interaction with atmospheric gases, resulting in propagation loss that reduces received signal strength.
Concept/Framework
Authentication
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or system. It establishes whether a claimed identity is valid before access is granted.
Concept/Framework
Autonomous Haulage System
A fleet of driverless haul trucks operating in a mine pit under centralized, software-directed control, navigating, loading, and dumping without an onboard operator, coordinated over a low-latency wireless network and…
Concept/Framework
Autonomous Shipping
The operation of a vessel with reduced or no direct human control of navigation and propulsion, ranging from remotely supervised operation to fully self-directed voyages, depending on vessel-to-shore communications and…
Concept/Framework
Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous Vehicles are physical vehicles equipped with onboard sensing, computer vision, and decision-making systems that allow them to navigate, operate, or perform tasks with reduced or no direct human control,…
Concept/Framework
Autonomous Vessel Communications
Autonomous Vessel Communications is the communications architecture that supports remote supervision, control, and data exchange for an autonomous vessel. It connects vessel autonomy with external oversight systems.
Service Model
Availability
Availability is the degree to which a system or service is operational and accessible when required. It reflects readiness for use rather than only performance.
Operations
Availability Zone
An Availability Zone is a distinct infrastructure location within a region used for fault isolation and high availability, helping separate failures across independent sites.
Concept/Framework
Backup Power
The category of technologies and strategies for maintaining power availability to a facility or system during a main power interruption, spanning immediate transition protection through sustained independent generation and storage…
