Glossary

A command used to control the modem.

A trusted third-party organization that acts to validate the identity of entities (such as IOT devices and websites) and bind them to cryptographic keys using electronic documents known as digital certificates.

A hardware development platform used for application development.

The network layer communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet.

A wireless broadband communication standard for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies. 

In telecom protocol stacks, the highest stratum of the control plane between the core network and User Equipment (UE). The layer is used to manage the establishment of communication sessions and for maintaining communications with the UE as it moves.

A narrowband technology standard with longer range, lower throughput, and better penetration in, for example, cellars and parking garages compared to LTE-M. NB-IoT is most suitable for static, low throughput applications like smart metering, smart agriculture, and smart city applications. Also known as Cat-NB1 or Cat-NB2.

The default file format for Wireshark.

A network that provides data services.

A protocol used in UMTS, LTE, and 5G on the radio interface. It is an OSI model network layer 3 protocol used between the User Equipment and Base Station.

A proprietary technology for bidirectional communication that supports J-Link devices and ARM-based microcontrollers, developed by SEGGER Microcontroller.

Several integrated circuits, often from different technologies, enclosed in a single module that performs as a system or subsystem.

A card used in UE containing data for subscriber identification.

A microchip that integrates all the necessary electronic circuits and components of a computer or other electronic systems on a single integrated circuit.

A hardware device for asynchronous serial communication between devices.

Any device used by an end-user to communicate. The UE consists of the Mobile Equipment (ME) and the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).

An industry standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication, and power supply between computers, peripheral devices, and other computers.
