Why does this matter operationally?
Service Assurance
The operational discipline of guaranteeing that connectivity services meet defined performance levels, availability targets, and recovery time objectives. Service assurance combines monitoring, SLA management, and proactive intervention to maintain the reliability that industrial operations depend on.
