Glossary¶
Terms used across telecoms, networking, embedded and IoT engineering, software architecture and delivery, from A-law to ZigBee.
Each entry starts with a short definition. Acronyms give their expansion first, in bold. A sentence or two of detail follows where it helps, then links to related terms. The entries are deliberately short: they say what a term means and how it fits with the others, and leave the full story to the standards and books.
