Term Definition
MAC Address Media Access Control address. The hardware address that the factory
assigns to the module for identification in the Data Link layer interface
of the Open Systems Interconnection system. This address serves as an
electronic serial number.
Management Information
Base Space that allows a program (agent) in the network to relay information
to a network monitor about the status of defined variables (objects).
Maximum Information Rate
(MIR) The cap applied to the bandwidth of an SM or specified group of SMs. In
the Cambium implementation, this is controlled by the Sustained Uplink
Data Rate, Uplink Burst Allocation, Sustained Downlink Data Rate, and
Downlink Burst Allocation parameters.
MIB Management Information Base. Space that allows a program (agent) in
the network to relay information to a network monitor about the status
of defined variables (objects).
MIR See Maximum Information Rate.
MU-MIMO Multi User- Multiple Input Multiple Output
