Open network architecture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In telecommunications, and in the context of Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Computer Inquiry III, Open network architecture (ONA) is the overall design of a communication carrier's basic network facilities and services to permit all users of the basic network to interconnect to specific basic network functions and interfaces on an unbundled, equal-access basis.

The ONA concept consists of three integral components:

  1. Basic serving arrangements (BSAs)
  2. Basic service elements (BSEs)
  3. Complementary network services
