Link Assurance Link Assurance is the effort to verify, monitor, and maintain the quality and availability of a communications link. It keeps the link fit for service. Operations Link Availability Link availability is the fraction or percentage of time that a communications path can successfully support service within acceptable performance thresholds. It is a measure of operational readiness and continuity… Concept/Framework Link Budget A link budget is a calculation that sums all gains, losses, and noise contributions in a wireless communication path to estimate received signal quality. The result shows whether the intended… Concept/Framework Load Balancer A Load Balancer is a system that distributes traffic or workloads across multiple resources. It improves availability, utilization, and service performance. 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 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… Service Model Mast Shadowing Mast Shadowing is signal obstruction or attenuation caused by a mast blocking the RF path between an antenna and its target. Operations Mechanically-Steered Antenna A mechanically-steered antenna is a directional antenna system that uses motors or other mechanical actuators to alter pointing direction and maintain alignment with a target. It is used when physical… Hardware Mesh Satellite Network Mesh Satellite Network is a satellite architecture in which satellites are interconnected through multiple communication paths. It supports distributed routing and resilience in space. Concept/Framework Mesh Topology Mesh Topology is a network structure in which nodes are interconnected through multiple paths. It provides path diversity and resilience compared with simpler layouts. Concept/Framework
