What is a Network Edge Device?
A network edge device is a device which provides a demarcation, entry and management access between an enterprise and service provider network. Network Edge Device functions are often combined or integrated with Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), such as Integrated Services Routers (ISR), Ethernet Access Devices (EAD), Integrated Access Devices (IADs) and Multi-Service Access Routers (MSAR).

What are Network Edge Services?
In the context of real-time communications (RTC), Edge Services refers to Services to manage the complexity, security and operations to meet the business demands and needs of the Service Provider and Subscriber.

What is Edge Orchestration?
Edge Orchestration is a Network Edge Service, leveraging cloud-connect Edge Devices to enable provisioning, configuration, management and monitoring of Edge Devices, Edge Services and Cloud or Web-based services traversing the Network Edge between the Service Provider and Subscriber.
