In telecommunications, a '''basic service element''' ('''BSE''') is:

# An optional unbundled feature, generally associated with the basic serving arrangement (BSA), that an enhanced-service provider (ESP) may require or find useful in configuring an enhanced service. # A fundamental (basic) communication network service; an optional network capability associated with a BSA.

BSEs constitute optional capabilities to which the customer may subscribe or decline to subscribe.
