Amount of time the system is expected to be available. If the system is available 99.999% of the time, expected down time is approximately six minutes per year, derived as follows: Y P O Days per year X hours per day X (100–99.999) ÷ 100 X 60 = 365.
ADM See Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM). AIS See Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) A special signal that is transmitted to downstream equipment for specific equipment fault conditions. antenna A mechanical device that can convert electrical signals to and from electromagnetic waves. An IFU contains an antenna. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) A cell-based protocol, developed by the ITU-T, for transmitting and switching voice, video, and data traffic.
backhaul A transmission path used to move traffic to/from a remote location from/to a central location. The message can be routed “out of its way” so that it arrives at its destination more quickly. A network can perform a back haul transmission if a direct communication link is busy and an indirect link would be faster. (The verb form is back haul.) bandwidth The range of frequencies over which a signal is transmitted. BER See Bit Error Rate (BER).
CLEC Independent company that competes with the already established local telephone company by providing its own network and switching. CLEC distinguishes a new or potential competitor from an established local exchange carrier (LEC). The term originated from the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which was intended to promote competition among long-distance and local phone service providers. CO See Central Office (CO).
Crane rain model System of formulas, charts, and maps developed by Robert K. Crane to depict a global prediction of attenuation caused by rain. See also rain attenuation. D dB Decibel. The unit of measurement for signal strength, usually the ratio between a transmitted signal and a standard signal source. decibel (dB) See dB. demarcation point Logical dividing point between equipment and a network. E Element Management System (EMS) Software application used to manage network equipment.
fiber optics Technology in which information is transmitted as light impulses from one point to another through extremely thin glass or plastic wire or fiber. fixed wireless system Communication system that uses radio spectrum to provide services to locations that are not mobile. forward error correction A system in which redundant information is generated at the transmitted end so that the receiving unit can detect, locate, and correct any errors before delivering the transmission.
GPIO General Purpose Input/Output. Input/output ports on the IFU that provide external control of equipment or detection and generation of external alarms. Each IFU contains four GPIO ports (two input-only and two output-only). H histogram A graphical representation of the distribution of a performance parameter. For example, a histogram can show the value and proportion of time a particular transmit power is used on a link. hop distance The distance between two communicating IFUs.
In Service (IS) System status indicating that an IFU is working with no known problems. Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier See ILEC. indoor repeater site Location used to extend a consecutive point network to enable future customer access. Internet Protocol See IP. Internet Service Provider (ISP) An operator that provides its customers access to the Internet. Invisible Fiber™ unit See IFU. IP Internet Protocol.
Java™ virtual machine Software, created for specific hardware platforms (microprocessors), that interprets compiled Java code (bytecode) using the microprocessor’s set of instructions. Java virtual machines enable any Java application (bytecode) to run on any platform without requiring the programmer to rewrite or recompile the application for each platform. L LAN Local Area Network.
M MAN Metropolitan Area Network. Integrated data communication network within a city. See also LAN and MAN. Management Information Base See MIB. MIB Management Information Base. A collection of statistics and variables residing on an SNMP-managed device. The statistics allow collection of performance data and the variables allow configuration of the device. microwave radio Device that uses microwave frequencies (3–300 GHz) for consecutive point communication. Millimeter Wave See MMW.
near-end IFU a) IFU at the location being evaluated. b) First IFU installed in a linked pair of IFUs. See also far-end IFU. Network Element See NE. Network Interface Card See NIC. network management The policies, procedures, and tools that enable an operator to monitor and manage network elements. Network Management System (NMS) Integrated, comprehensive system of equipment used for monitoring and managing network elements.
O OAM&P Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning. Describes a piece of equipment or personnel required to manage a network. OC-3 Optical Carrier level 3.
