Element Management is concerned with managing network elements on the network element management layer (NEL) of the TMN (Telecommunications Management Network). An Element Management system (EMS) manages one or more of a specific type of telecommunications network elements (NE).
Manages functions and capabilities within each NE but does not manage the traffic between different NEs in the network.
Provides foundation to implement TMN – layered operations support systems (OSS) architectures for better operability and meeting stringent QoS requirements.
OSS Interoperability between EMS and NMS has reached great heights with the introduction of CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)
