Telecommunications

Gateway Gateway is a device, node, or service that connects two networks or protocol domains and often translates or routes traffic between them. It sits at a boundary between systems. Hardware Gateway Diversity Gateway Diversity is the use of multiple gateway paths, sites, or providers to reduce dependency on a single gateway point of failure. Concept/Framework Gateway Handover Gateway Handover is the transfer of service traffic from one gateway to another to maintain connectivity or optimize performance. Operations Gateway Site Gateway Site is the physical location where gateway equipment, antennas, and supporting infrastructure are installed and operated. Hardware Gateway Teleport Gateway Teleport is a teleport facility specifically used to connect satellite traffic to gateway functions and terrestrial infrastructure. It combines teleport and gateway roles. Hardware Graceful Degradation Graceful Degradation is the controlled reduction of system capability so a service continues operating in a limited or simplified form during stress or failure. It preserves partial function. Operations GRE Tunnel GRE Tunnel is a generic routing encapsulation tunnel that carries one network protocol inside another across an intermediate network by wrapping payload protocol in a GRE header. Protocol Greenfield Deployment Greenfield Deployment is the deployment of a new system in a new environment without needing to integrate with existing legacy infrastructure. Operations Ground Segment Ground Segment is the terrestrial portion of a satellite system, including earth stations, gateways, control infrastructure, and related facilities that form the ground side of the system. Hardware Handoff Management Handoff Management is the control and coordination of transferring active sessions or connections between access points, cells, beams, or other serving nodes while minimizing interruption.
