Oracle Communications Unified Assurance Oracle Communications Unified Assurance Large Devices (CORE/EDGE) Oracle Communications Large Devices (CORE/EDGE) is defined as:

A core network is a telecommunication network's core part, which offers numerous services to the customers who are interconnected by the access network. Its key function is to direct telephone calls over the public-switched telephone network.

In general, this term signifies the highly functional communication facilities that interconnect primary nodes. The core network delivers routes to exchange information among various sub-networks. When it comes to enterprise networks that serve a single organization, the term backbone is often used instead of core network, whereas when used with service providers the term core network is prominent.

This term is also known as network core or backbone network.

An edge device is any piece of hardware that controls data flow at the boundary between two networks. Edge devices fulfill a variety of roles, depending on what type of device they are, but they essentially serve as network entry -- or exit -- points. Some common functions of edge devices are the transmission, routing, processing, monitoring, filtering, translation and storage of data passing between networks. Edge devices are used by enterprises and service providers.

One of the most common types of edge devices is an edge router. Usually deployed to connect a campus network to the internet or a WAN, edge routers chiefly function as gateways between networks. A similar type of edge device, known as a routing switch, can also be used for this purpose, although routing switches typically offer less-comprehensive features than full-fledged routers.

Firewalls can also be classified as edge devices, as they sit on the periphery of one network and filter data moving between internal and external networks.

Oracle Communications Unified Assurance Oracle Communications Unified Assurance Small Devices (CPE/RAN/NID) Oracle Communications Small Devices (CPE/RAN/NID) is defined as:

In telecommunications, a customer-premises equipment or customer-provided equipment (CPE) is any terminal and associated equipment located at a subscriber's premises and connected with a carrier's telecommunication circuit at the demarcation point ("demarc"). The demarc is a point established in a building or complex to separate customer equipment from the equipment located in either the distribution infrastructure or central office of the communications service provider.

CPE generally refers to devices such as telephones, routers, network switches, residential gateways (RG), set-top boxes, fixed mobile convergence products, home networking adapters and Internet access gateways that enable consumers to access providers' communication services and distribute them in a residence or enterprise with a local area network (LAN).

A radio access network (RAN) is a major component of a wireless telecommunications system that connects individual devices to other parts of a network through a radio link. The RAN links user equipment, such as a cellphone, computer or any remotely controlled machine, over a fiber or wireless backhaul connection. That link goes to the core network, which manages subscriber information, location and more.

The RAN, which is sometimes also called the access network, is the radio element of the cellular network. A cellular network is made up of land areas called cells. A cell is served by at least one radio transceiver, although the standard is typically three for cell sites.

A RAN is made up of three essential elements:

  1. Antennas convert electrical signals into radio waves
  2. Radios transform digital information into signals that can be sent wirelessly and ensure that transmissions are in the correct frequency bands with the right power levels
  3. Baseband units (BBUs) provide a set of signal processing functions that make wireless communication possible. Traditional baseband uses custom electronics combined with multiple lines of code to enable wireless communication, typically using the licensed radio spectrum. BBU processing detects errors, secures the wireless signal and ensures that wireless resources are used effectively.
In telecommunications, a network interface device (NID; also known by several other names) is a device that serves as the demarcation point between the carrier's local loop and the customer's premises wiring. Outdoor telephone NIDs also provide the subscriber with access to the station wiring and serve as a convenient test point for verification of loop integrity and of the subscribers inside wiring.Small devices may also represent servers; physical or virtual.
Small devices may also be represented by load balances; physical or virtual.

Oracle Communications Unified Assurance Oracle Communications Visualized Assurance This is a GIS-based add-on for geospatial fault analysis. Visualized Assurance (Visualization) combines live network data and external data to provide a holistic view of the network status. Visualization allows operators to visually correlate network and service issues with external sources of geographical data, for example, weather and utility, with a zoom down to street/site level facility.

The multi-tenanted Visualization UI also enables personalized customer views of the data, by layers, entities etc.

Visualization is highly configurable, using a layered approach to visualizing network objects and service coverage status. This allows operators and non-network users to focus on relevant data to help understand, diagnose, and respond to issues without the distraction of visualization noise, and directly visually correlate layered data improving their understanding of the impact of faults in relation to location and customers.
