Term 
Definition 
obstructions within the first Fresnel zone. 
MAC  
Media Access Control. A unique number assigned to a network device. 
Corresponds to ISO Network Model Layer 2 data link layer.  
MHz 
Megahertz. 1,000,000 Hz 
Modem  
MOdulator/DEModulator. A hardware device that converts digital data 
into analog and vice versa.  
Modulation   Any of several techniques for combining user information with a 
transmitter carrier signal. 
Multipath  
The radio echoes created as a radio signal bounces off objects. 
NVRAM 
Non-volatile RAM. System parameters are stored in NVRAM. This data is 
not affected by powering off the system. 
NLOS 
Non Line Of Sight. Completely obstructed path between two antennas. 
OFDM 
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. OFDM spreads data to be 
transmitted over a large number of orthogonal carriers.  
OLOS 
Optical Line Of Sight. A clear direct path between two antennas, with 
obstructions within the first Fresnel zone. 
Packet 
A bundle of data organized in a specific way for transmission. The three 
principal elements of a packet include the header, the text, and the trailer 
(error detection and correction bits).  
PHY  
Physical Layer. Provides for the transmission of data through a 
communications channel by defining the electrical, mechanical, and 
procedural specifications.  
PMP 
Point to Multipoint 
PTP 
Point to Point 
QAM 
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation 
QPSK 
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying 
Receiver 
Sensitivity  
A measurement of the weakest signal a receiver can receive and still 
correctly translate it into data. 
RF Radio 
Frequency 
Rx Receiver 
S/N 
Signal to Noise Ratio 
SINADR 
Signal to noise and distortion ratio. 
TCP/IP  
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol 
The standard set of protocols used by the Internet for transferring 
information between computers, handsets, and other devices.  
TFTP 
Trivial File Transfer Protocol 
Tx Transmitter 
UBR 
Uncoded Burst Rate
