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.

Session Continuity
The application- and user-level outcome of maintaining an active call, data session, or control link without perceptible interruption as a device moves between cells, satellites, beams, or connectivity paths, evaluated…
Concept/Framework
Session Persistence
Session Persistence is the maintenance of a user or connection session state across multiple requests or across a period of time. It preserves continuity of interaction.

Setpoint
A setpoint is the reference value against which a controller compares the current state of a process. The control system acts to reduce the error between the measured value and…
Concept/Framework
Signal Strength
Signal strength is the measured level of received radio energy at a receiving point. It is a basic indicator of link quality and propagation conditions.
Concept/Framework
Single Point of Failure
A single point of failure is any component, path, service, or dependency whose failure can bring down the larger system because no equivalent fallback exists.
Concept/Framework
Site Diversity
Site diversity is the deployment of equivalent or complementary functions across separate sites so service can continue when one location is impaired.
Concept/Framework
Smart Inverter
A power electronics device converting DC power from a distributed energy resource into grid-compatible AC power, additionally providing autonomous grid-support functions — voltage regulation, frequency response, remote curtailment, and fault…
