Service Assurance

Loop Prevention Loop Prevention is the use of mechanisms that stop forwarding, routing, or control loops from forming in a network or process. It protects stability and correct forwarding. Operations Low Noise Amplifier Low Noise Amplifier is an amplifier designed to increase signal strength while adding as little noise as possible. Hardware Management Plane Management Plane is the part of a system used for configuration, monitoring, administration, and operational control of devices or services. It handles oversight and administration separately from user traffic handling. Operations Mast Shadowing Mast Shadowing is signal obstruction or attenuation caused by a mast blocking the RF path between an antenna and its target. Operations Measurement Measurement is the process of assigning a value to a variable based on observation, sensing, or calculation according to a defined method. The result is used to understand state, compare… Concept/Framework MEO MEO is medium Earth orbit, an orbital regime between low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit used by some satellite systems for communications and navigation. Concept/Framework Metrics Metrics are quantitative measures used to observe or compare the behavior or performance of a system or service. They provide numeric data for monitoring and analysis. Operations 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 Mission Assurance Mission Assurance is the practice of ensuring that mission objectives can be achieved with acceptable risk across design, operations, and recovery. Operations Mobile Access Network A mobile access network is the collection of radio access elements, control logic, and supporting transport that provides connectivity to moving users and devices. It is the access layer that… Service Model
