LoRaWAN
An open, unlicensed-spectrum LPWAN protocol standard, built on LoRa chirp spread-spectrum physical-layer radio technology, defining the MAC layer, network architecture, and security model for long-range, low-power, low-data-rate device connectivity.
Protocol
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
LPWAN
The category of wireless communication technologies optimized for long-range, low-power, low-data-rate connectivity, encompassing unlicensed-spectrum technologies such as LoRaWAN and licensed cellular technologies standardized by 3GPP such as NB-IoT and LTE-M.
Concept/Framework
LTE-M
A 3GPP-standardized cellular radio access technology within the LTE/5G ecosystem, optimized for IoT connectivity that requires mobility support, moderate throughput, or optional voice capability, distinguishing it from NB-IoT's more minimal…
Protocol
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
Manpack Terminal
Manpack Terminal is a portable communications terminal that can be carried by an individual operator for field use, providing mobile communications access with minimal setup requirements.
Hardware
Marine Grade Antenna Enclosure
Marine Grade Antenna Enclosure is a protective housing designed to shield antenna hardware from salt, moisture, wind, and physical exposure. It protects RF equipment in harsh marine conditions while allowing…
Hardware
Maritime Broadband Radio
A terrestrial radio technology delivering broadband connectivity to vessels within range of shore-based base stations along coastlines and shipping lanes, using microwave-band point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links rather than satellite relay.
Hardware
Maritime Connectivity
Maritime Connectivity is communication connectivity provided to vessels, offshore assets, and marine operations. It supports service access at sea and in port environments where terrestrial network coverage is limited or…
