Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Architecture

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Architecture refers to a framework that enables the virtualization of network functions traditionally performed by dedicated hardware appliances. By leveraging software-based virtualization techniques, NFV allows the decoupling of network functions from proprietary hardware, resulting in greater flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in deploying and managing network services.

VAS Vendor

A VAS vendor refers to a company or entity that specializes in providing value-added services to telecommunications operators or service providers. These services often go beyond basic voice and data connectivity and can include offerings such as messaging platforms, content delivery systems, mobile payment solutions, and more.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Tool

A Command Line Interface (CLI) tool is a software program that allows users to interact with a computer or software system through text-based commands entered in a terminal or command prompt. CLI tools provide a powerful and efficient way to perform various tasks, configure settings, and execute commands, often offering more advanced functionalities and automation options compared to graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

Process Supplementary Service Request 

Process Supplementary Service Request (PSSR) refers to a procedure in telecommunications networks where additional services or features are requested and handled by the network infrastructure. It involves processing service-related requests, such as call forwarding, call waiting, or call barring, which enhance the functionality and user experience of telecommunication services.

Ubiquitous Sensor Network

A Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) refers to a network infrastructure composed of a large number of distributed sensors that are seamlessly integrated into the physical environment. These sensors can collect and transmit data about various environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, light, motion, and more.
