Access

Ku Band Ku Band is a microwave frequency range used in satellite and broadcast communications that supports directional links at frequencies sensitive to weather effects. Concept/Framework Last Mile Last Mile is the final segment of connectivity between a network provider and the endpoint being served. Concept/Framework Last-Mile Connectivity Last-mile connectivity is the network segment that connects the local endpoint to the upstream access or transport network. It is the final hop that determines whether the end user can… Concept/Framework Latency Budget Latency Budget is the maximum delay allowance assigned to a system or path to meet a required performance target. It is a design constraint, not just a measurement. Operations LEO LEO is low Earth orbit, an orbital regime relatively close to Earth used by satellites in communications and observation systems. Concept/Framework Load Balancing Load Balancing is the distribution of traffic or workload across multiple resources so no single resource becomes overloaded. Software Local Loop A local loop is the physical or logical access segment that links the customer premises to the service provider’s network edge. It is the final connection used to deliver access… Concept/Framework Low Noise Amplifier Low Noise Amplifier is an amplifier designed to increase signal strength while adding as little noise as possible. Hardware Low-Gain Antenna Low-Gain Antenna is an antenna with a wide radiation pattern and lower directional concentration, often used for broad coverage or initial acquisition. Hardware Mac Address Mac Address is the link-layer address assigned to a network interface for local network identification and delivery. It is used primarily on Ethernet and similar networks to enable switching and… Protocol
