Obsidian Telecommunication & Network Definitions

Welcome to the ultimate collection of telecommunications and networking definitions, curated for seamless integration with Obsidian!

This repository offers an extensive, well-organised set of notes and explanations covering the full spectrum of telecommunications and computer networking. Whether you're a student, engineer, researcher, or enthusiast, you'll find detailed definitions, protocol breakdowns, technology overviews, and conceptual guides designed to support learning and reference.

Key features include:

• Comprehensive Coverage: Hundreds of definitions spanning protocols, standards, technologies, acronyms, architectures, and more.
• Obsidian-Optimised Structure: Notes are formatted for easy navigation, linking, and search within Obsidian, leveraging tags and aliases for efficient cross-referencing.
• Dataview Integration: Category notes use Dataview queries to dynamically organise and display definitions by topic, tag, or alias.
• Modular & Expandable: The structure supports adding new definitions, updating existing ones, and customising views to fit your workflow.
• Practical Utility: Ideal for building a personal knowledge base, preparing for exams, onboarding new team members, or deepening your understanding of telecom and networking concepts.

Explore the repository to discover a powerful resource for mastering the language and technologies of modern communications.

Contents Overview

The Definitions folder is the heart of this project. It is organised for easy navigation and includes:

• 01 All Definitions/: Hundreds of individual definition notes (e.g., protocols, standards, technologies, acronyms) in Obsidian-friendly Markdown files.
• 01 Telecommunication Definitions.base: An Obsidian Bases organiser file for Dataview, providing custom views and filters for exploring definitions by category or tag.
• Network Protocols.md: MOC for protocols and standards for data transmission and networking.
• Network Tech and Concepts.md: MOC for key technologies and concepts in networking.
• Optical Network and Components.md: MOC for optical networking terms and components.
• RAN Architectures & Components.md: MOC for radio Access Network architectures and elements.
• Radio Protocols.md: MOC for wireless and radio communication protocols.
• Routing Multicast & Gateway Protocols.md: MOC for routing, multicast, and gateway protocols.
• Security & Authentication.md: MOC for security, authentication, and cryptography definitions.
• Standardisation & Organisations.md: MOC for standards bodies and industry organisations.
• Wireless Technologies.md: MOC for wireless communication technologies and standards.

Each category note uses Dataview queries to automatically list and organise definitions by tag and alias.

🛠️ How to Use

1. Copy the Definitions folder into your Obsidian vault.
2. Open Obsidian and let it index the notes. All definitions will be available and searchable.
3. Use the category notes (e.g., Network Protocols.md) for Dataview-powered tables and filtered views.
4. Explore, link, and expand your knowledge base!

Requirements

• Obsidian
• Obsidian core bases plugin (for the organiser file)
• Dataview Plugin (for dynamic tables and views)

Organisation & Features

• Obsidian Bases Organiser: The 01 Telecommunication Definitions.base file provides Dataview configurations for custom tables and filtered views by protocol, technology, layer, etc.
• Tagging System: Each definition note is tagged for easy filtering (e.g., #telecommunications/definitions/network-protocols).
• Aliases: Many notes include aliases for quick search and cross-referencing.
• Modular Structure: Add, edit, or expand definitions as needed.
