As described earlier in the present document, each PLMN organisation has a management infrastructure consisting of a collection of systems (computers and telecommunications) – a TMN in ITU-T parlance – used to manage its network. Though this management network is logically distinct from the PLMN , the operations systems and supporting data communications network comprising it have the same management needs as described for network elements and where possible should be managed using the same principles and similar management processes and functionality.
