Glossary
Electronic Communications Network: Transmission systems and, where applicable, switching or routing equipment and other resources which permit the conveyance of signals by wire, by radio, by optical or by other electromagnetic means, including satellite networks, fixed (circuit- and packet-switched, including Internet) and mobile terrestrial networks, electricity cable systems, to the extent that they are used for the purpose of transmitting signals, networks used for radio and television broadcasting, and cable television networks, irrespective of the type of information conveyed (Law no. 5/2004 of 10 February).
Next generation network: Term which refers, simultaneously, to the integration of current different types of networks and services into a single concept, allowing lower costs in terms of operation and maintenance, as well as the convergence of services. With respect to the access network, the term is commonly used to describe the total or partial substitution of copper on the local loops by fibre-optic. This allows a five-fold increase in speed.
