Asynchronous Transfer Mode Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a cell-switched networking technology that carries traffic in fixed-size cells. It was designed for broadband transport and service differentiation. Protocol Atmospheric Absorption Atmospheric Absorption is the loss of electromagnetic energy as radio waves pass through the atmosphere due to interaction with atmospheric gases, resulting in propagation loss that reduces received signal strength. Concept/Framework Attitude Control Attitude Control is the management of an object's orientation in space. It is used to maintain pointing, stability, or alignment in vehicles and platforms. Concept/Framework Auto Scaling Auto Scaling is the automatic adjustment of compute or service capacity based on demand or policy. It increases or decreases resources to match workload needs. Software Autonomous Vessel Communications Autonomous Vessel Communications is the communications architecture that supports remote supervision, control, and data exchange for an autonomous vessel. It connects vessel autonomy with external oversight systems. Service Model Availability Availability is the degree to which a system or service is operational and accessible when required. It reflects readiness for use rather than only performance. Operations Azimuth Azimuth is the horizontal reference used to describe direction or bearing relative to a chosen origin, commonly measured from north in navigation and pointing tasks. Concept/Framework Azimuth Angle Azimuth Angle is the horizontal angular direction of an object or target relative to a chosen reference, commonly north. It is used to describe orientation in a horizontal plane. Concept/Framework Backhaul Backhaul is the transport segment that carries traffic from access sites or Edge Compute nodes to aggregation or core infrastructure. Service Model Backhaul Service Backhaul Service is the transport connection that carries aggregated traffic from access sites, base stations, or remote nodes to the core or aggregation network.
