Why does this matter operationally?
Security
The set of controls, protocols, and architectures that protect connectivity infrastructure from unauthorised access, interception, and disruption. In industrial and remote environments, security must account for both IT threats and the operational consequences of a compromised control path.

Maritime Cyber Risk
The risk that a vessel's connected IT and operational technology systems — navigation, propulsion, cargo control, and crew-facing networks — may be compromised, disrupted, or manipulated through a cyberattack, encompassing…
Concept/Framework
MCX
The 3GPP-standardized family of mission-critical push-to-talk, data, and video services delivered over LTE and 5G networks, providing public safety and defense organizations mission-critical-grade group communication capability over cellular network infrastructure.
Protocol
Mesh Satellite Network
Mesh Satellite Network is a satellite architecture in which satellites are interconnected through multiple communication paths. It supports distributed routing and resilience in space.
Concept/Framework
Methane Monitoring
The continuous detection and measurement of methane emissions across oil and gas production, processing, and transport infrastructure, using distributed sensor networks and remote or aerial detection methods to identify leaks…
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
Multi Orbit Architecture
Multi Orbit Architecture is a space communications design that uses satellites in more than one orbital regime to deliver or support service, combining the strengths of different orbit classes.
Service Model
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
Network Access Control
The discipline of verifying a device's identity and security posture before granting it network access and continuously enforcing policy on what that device can reach once connected, rather than granting…
Concept/Framework
Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation is the translation of one address space into another, usually to allow private addresses to communicate with public networks. It rewrites address information at a boundary.
Protocol
Network Design
Network design is the process of specifying the structure, components, and control logic of a network so it can meet defined requirements. It includes topology, segmentation, capacity, routing, and operational…
