Network RTK
Network RTK (NRTK) is a real-time satellite positioning technique in which a network of GNSS reference stations streams corrections, extending centimeter accuracy to about 100 km.
Network sampling
Network sampling is a family of survey methods for drawing samples of hard-to-reach, hidden populations by following links of an underlying social network instead of a complete list.
Network security
Network security, also called Netsec or LAN security, is the use of firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems to control traffic and protect computer networks.
Network segmentation
Network segmentation is the practice of dividing a computer network into separate subnetworks, so that approved security policy controls traffic between them and limits attackers' lateral movement.
Network slicing
Network slicing is a 5G architecture technique that runs multiple independent virtual networks on a single shared physical mobile network, each tailored to a service's performance and security needs.
Network socket
A network socket, also called an Internet socket, is an endpoint for communication between two programs over a network, identified by an IP address and port.
Network switch
A network switch, also known as an Ethernet switch, is a networking device that connects devices on a local area network and forwards Ethernet frames by MAC address.
Network switching subsystem
The network switching subsystem, also known as the GSM core network, is the part of a telephone network comprising exchanges and signaling that sets up calls.
Network synthesis
Network synthesis is the branch of circuit theory that derives a physical electrical network, both its topology and element values, from a prescribed input-output relationship, the inverse of network analysis.
Network theory
Network theory studies systems of interconnected entities as nodes and edges, with two main strands: social network analysis and network science, both rooted in graph theory.
Network throughput
Network throughput is the amount of payload data a network actually delivers per unit of time, and it is affected by latency, loss, and protocol behavior.
Network Time Protocol
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing computer clocks over packet-switched networks, developed by David L. Mills and accurate to milliseconds across the Internet.
Network Time Security
Network Time Security (NTS), specified in RFC 8915 in September 2020, is an IETF standard that uses TLS and AEAD to secure the client-server mode of NTP against spoofed time packets.
Network tomography
Network tomography is a statistical method, introduced by Y. Vardi in 1996, that infers internal link delay, loss, or traffic from end-to-end measurements between edge nodes.
Network topology
Network topology is the physical and logical structure of a network, describing how nodes such as switches, routers, and endpoints are interconnected and how data flows among them.
Network-attached storage
Network-attached storage (NAS) is a storage device that connects to a network, giving multiple users and devices centralized file access as if the files were local.
Network-coded cooperation
Network-coded cooperation is a wireless communication technique in which relays combine the packets of several users, often by bitwise XOR, so one relayed transmission serves multiple receivers at once.
Network18 Group
Network18 Group (Network18 Media & Investments Limited) is an Indian media conglomerate controlled by Reliance Industries via Independent Media Trust, operating 20 news channels including CNBC-TV18, CNN-News18, News18 India, and digital brands Moneycontrol, Firstpost, Forbes India, plus stakes in JioStar and BookMyShow.
Networking hardware
Networking hardware, also called network equipment, is the class of physical devices such as switches, routers, and wireless access points that connect, forward, and secure network traffic.
Netzsch
Netzsch is a German family-owned machinery and instrumentation group founded in 1873 in Selb, Bavaria, known for its NEMO pumps and for equipment used in lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
Netzwerk
Netzwerk is a 2003 abstract route-building board game by Corné van Moorsel, published by Jumbo for 2-4 players; a revised edition of Morisi (2000, Cwali) in which players collect resources, build roads, and connect cities, with no luck elements.
Neu Darchau
Neu Darchau, a municipality in Lüchow-Dannenberg, Lower Saxony, on the left Elbe bank, part of Samtgemeinde Elbtalaue; founded 18th century, merged 1972, about 1,331 residents, ferry to Darchau, planned Elbe bridge.
Neu-Laxova syndrome
Neu-Laxova syndrome (NLS), also called Neu-Laxova disease, is a lethal autosomal recessive disorder caused by PHGDH, PSAT1, or PSPH mutations in the serine biosynthesis pathway, marked by ichthyosis, microcephaly, IUGR, edema, and perinatal death.
Neu!
Neu! (German for "new") was a Düsseldorf krautrock duo formed in 1971 by ex-Kraftwerk members Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother; their three Brain Records albums pioneered the motorik beat, influencing Bowie, punk, and electronic music.
NEU1
NEU1 (neuraminidase 1, sialidase-1) is a chromosome 6p21.3 gene encoding a lysosomal enzyme that removes sialic acid from glycoproteins; its deficiency causes sialidosis, and it modulates immune receptors and Alzheimer's-related amyloid processing.
Neuba II Gas Pipeline
The Neuba II Gas Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline in Argentina running from the Neuquén Basin to Buenos Aires, built in 1988 and operated by TGS.
Neuberg Diagnostics
Neuberg Diagnostics is an Indian diagnostics company founded in Chennai in 2017 by entrepreneur GSK Velu, running pathology, radiology, and genomics labs in India, the UAE, the US, and South Africa.
Neuberger Berman
Neuberger Berman is a private, 100% employee-owned global investment management firm founded in 1939, managing $613 billion for institutional and private clients as of 2026.
Neuberger Berman Opportunistic Capital Solutions
Neuberger Berman Opportunistic Capital Solutions (NBOKS) is a private-equity-style fund platform within Neuberger Berman that held a $1.95 billion final close in 2022 and co-sponsors SPACs with CC Capital.
Neuchâtel
Neuchâtel (Neuenburg) is a French-speaking Swiss city and canton on Lake Neuchâtel, first recorded as novum castellum in 1011; a Prussian principality until 1857, it joined the Confederation in 1814 as the 21st canton and is a watchmaking and industrial center.
