| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| LAN (Local Area Network) | A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected in the same physical location, such as a building, office, or home. |
| DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) | A network management protocol used to assign IP addresses to devices automatically. |
| DNS (Domain Name System) | The Domain Name System (DNS) is the Internet's system for mapping alphabetic names to numeric Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. |
| WAN (Wide Area Network) | A wide area network (WAN) is a collection of local area networks (LANs) or other networks that communicate with each other. |
| NAT (Network Address Translation) | Network Address Translation (NAT) is a process in which one or more local IP addresses are translated into one or more global IP addresses and vice versa to provide Internet access to local hosts. |
| Wi-Fi | Wi-Fi is a wireless network protocol, based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, used for local area networks of devices and Internet access by exchanging data via radio waves. |
| SSID (Service Set Identifier) | The wireless network name broadcast by a Wi-Fi service. |
| 5G NSA (5G Non-Standalone) | 5G NSA refers to a combined network of 5G and 4G LTE, where 5G networks are deployed on the basis of existing 4G infrastructure. |
| 5G SA (5G Standalone) | 5G SA is the standalone deployment of 5G where base stations, backhaul links, and core networks are all dedicated to 5G to maximize network performance. |
| ISP (Internet Service Provider) | An ISP is a company that provides individuals and organizations with access to the Internet and related services. |
| IP (Internet Protocol) | An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. |
| IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) | IMEI is a unique numeric identifier for 3GPP and mobile phones, as well as satellite devices. |
| IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) | IMSI is a unique fifteen-digit number associated with GSM and UMTS network mobile phone users used to identify a subscriber. |
| RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) | The average power received from a single reference signal. A good RSRP is above -80 dBm, and a poor reading is generally below -100 dBm. |
| RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) | Indicates the quality of the received signal. A good RSRQ is above -15 dB, and a poor reading is generally below -20 dB. |
| RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) | RSSI is a measurement of cellular signal strength. A good RSSI is above -65 dBm, and a poor reading is generally below -85 dBm. |
| RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) | RSCP is used as a parameter to measure 3G signal coverage quality. |
| SNR (Signal-to-noise ratio) | SNR compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. A good SNR is above 13 dB, and a poor reading is generally below 0 dB. |
| VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) | A VLAN is a network topology that divides a single physical network into multiple logical networks to improve performance and security. |
| SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) | SMTP is a standard Internet protocol used for sending and relaying email messages between email servers. |
| SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) | SNMP provides a standardized framework for gathering information and managing network devices across an IP network. |
| CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) | An authentication protocol used to secure communication between iSCSI initiators and targets by verifying identities. |
| IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) | A unique identifier used to name iSCSI devices on a network, ensuring distinguishable identity. |
