Service Assurance

Routing Routing is the network function that computes and maintains paths between sources and destinations. It uses topology, policy, and metrics to choose one or more next hops for traffic. Concept/Framework Routing Metric A routing metric is a numeric or rule-based measure used by a routing system to evaluate and compare paths. It helps determine which route should be preferred when more than… Concept/Framework Rural Broadband Rural broadband is the provision of broadband access services in low-density or geographically challenging areas where standard deployment approaches may be less effective or more expensive. It is a service-delivery… Service Model Safe Mode Safe Mode is a reduced-function operating state entered to protect a system after a fault, anomaly, or loss of normal control. It preserves safe operation. Operations Satcom Hardening Satcom Hardening is the strengthening of satellite communications systems against faults, interference, environmental exposure, and security threats. It improves operational resilience. Concept/Framework Satellite Capacity Satellite capacity is the amount of communications demand that a satellite system can serve within its technical and operational limits. It is bounded by spectrum, power, beam allocation, modulation, and… Concept/Framework Satellite Communications Satellite communications is a communications architecture in which user traffic is relayed via satellites between remote endpoints and terrestrial network infrastructure. The system includes the user terminal, the space segment,… Concept/Framework Satellite Handover Satellite Handover is the transfer of an active connection from one satellite, beam, or path to another to maintain service continuity as coverage changes. Operations Satellite Operations Satellite operations is the set of activities used to command, monitor, sustain, and recover satellites during mission life. It includes scheduling, anomaly handling, station keeping, telemetry analysis, and coordination with… Operations SD-WAN SD-WAN is a network architecture that applies centralized policy to traffic flows across multiple wide area transport links. It typically uses branch edge devices, overlay tunnels, telemetry, and orchestration software… Service Model
