Supply chain transformation is the addition and integration of technology to improve supply chain performance.

Network slicing overlays multiple virtual networks on top of a shared network.

Dynamic spectrum access (DSA), also referred to as dynamic spectrum management (DSM), is a set of spectrum utilization techniques that adjusts frequency in real time based on fluctuating circumstances.

Wireline communication (also known as wired communication) is the transmission of information over a physical filament. Alternatively, communication technologies that transmit information over-the-air (OTA) are called wireless.

Interconnection is a strategy for ensuring that businesses can privately, securely and directly exchange digital information. An important goal of interconnection is to enable extremely high bandwidth exchanges with the lowest possible latency, at the lowest cost.

Data center services is a collective term for all the supporting components necessary to the proper operation of data center. This includes all the implementation, maintenance and operation of a data center.

Infrastructure is the foundation or framework that supports a system or organization.

An edge router is a specialized router located at a network boundary that enables an internal network to connect to external networks.

RMM software (remote monitoring and management software) is a type of application that information technology (IT) service providers use to maintain their clients' IT infrastructure and systems.

Desktop virtualization is the concept of isolating a logical operating system (OS) instance from the client that is used to access it.

Edge computing is a distributed information technology (IT) architecture in which client data is processed at the periphery of the network, as close to the originating source as possible.

VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) is the transmission of voice and multimedia content over an internet connection.

Telecommunications, also known as telecom, is the exchange of information over significant distances by electronic means and refers to all types of voice, data and video transmission.

Generally, a configuration is the arrangement - or the process of making the arrangement - of the parts that make up a whole.
