SNR
Signal-to-Noise Ratio. The SNR measures the quality of the intended signal
versus any background noise. Usually expressed in decibels (dB).
SQM
See Signal Quality Metric (SQM).
staging
Installation phase during which equipment might be integrated and made
ready for deployment.
subnet mask
See net mask.
switch
A network device that selects the path for sending traffic to its next
destination.
Synchronous Optical NETwork (SONET)
Standard protocol that defines a group of fiber-optic transmission rates that
can transmit various bit-rate signals inside a broadband synchronous signal.
SONET was designed to allow for a multi-vendor environment.
system gain
The ratio of transmit power to receiver sensitivity, usually expressed in dB.
This ratio usually does not include antenna gain.
T
TCM
See Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM).
TCP/IP
See Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Family of data communication protocols universally implemented on the
Internet.TCP is a transport layer protocol used for reliable,
connection-oriented communication between two applications.
