Eligible Equipment for Collocation Sample Clauses

Eligible Equipment for Collocation. 6.1 In accordance with Section 251(c)(6) of the Telecommunications Act, Collocator may collocate equipment "necessary for interconnection or access to unbundled network elements." For purposes of this section, "necessary" means directly related to and thus necessary, required, or indispensable to interconnection or access to unbundled network elements. Such uses are limited to interconnection to the SBC-13STATE's network "for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange service or exchange access," or for access to SBC-13STATE's unbundled network elements "for the provision of a telecommunications service." Equipment that may be collocated solely for these purposes includes: (1) transmission equipment including, but not limited to, optical terminating equipment and multiplexers; and (2) equipment being collocated to terminate basic transmission facilities pursuant to sections 64.1401 and 64.1402 of 47 C.F.R. (Expanded Interconnection) as of August 1, 1996. 6.2 Multifunctional Equipment is not "necessary" for interconnection or access to unbundled network elements. Collocator may not collocate Multifunctional Equipment except as expressly and specifically allowed, on a voluntary basis, in this Section or mutually agreed to by SBC-13STATE and Collocator. For purposes of this section, "Multifunctional Equipment," means equipment that has both (1) functions that make the equipment "necessary for interconnection or access to unbundled network elements" and (2) additional functions that are not "necessary" for these purposes. Such additional functions include, but are not limited to, switching and enhanced service functions.

Eligible Equipment for Collocation. 6.1 SBC-13STATE will allow Equipment to be collocated only if (1) it is "necessary" for interconnection to the SBC- 13STATE's network for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange service or exchange access, or for access to SBC-13STATE's unbundled network elements ("UNEs") for the provision of a Telecommunications Service, under all the standards and requirements addressed in this Section 6, or (2) SBC-13STATE voluntarily decides to allow the Equipment to be collocated on a non-discriminatory basis. 6.2 For purposes of this Section 6, Equipment is considered "necessary" as follows: (1) Equipment is considered necessary for Interconnection if an inability to deploy that Equipment would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter, preclude the Collocator from obtaining interconnection with SBC- 13STATE at a level equal in quality to that which SBC 13STATE obtains within its own network or SBC- 13STATE provides to any Affiliate, subsidiary, or other party. (2) Equipment is considered necessary for access to a UNE if an inability to deploy that Equipment would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter, preclude Collocator from obtaining nondiscriminatory access to that UNE, including any of its features, functions, or capabilities. 6.3 Subject to the requirements of Section 6, "Stand-alone Function" Equipment that may be collocated include: (1) Transmission equipment that is optical terminating equipment or a multiplexer. (2) Equipment being collocated to terminate basic transmission facilities pursuant to sections 64.1401 and 64.1402 of 47 C.F.R. (Expanded Interconnection) as of August 1, 1996. (3) Equipment specified in the definition of "Advanced Services Equipment" in section 1.3.d of the SBC/Ameritech Merger Conditions. "Advanced Services Equipment" is defined as, and limited to, the following equipment: DSLAMs or functionally equivalent equipment; spectrum splitters that are used solely in the provision of Advanced Services; packet switches and multiplexers such as ATMs and Frame Relay engines used to provide Advanced Services; modems used in the provision of packetized data; and DACS frames used only in the provision of Advanced Services. (4) Optical Concentrator Devices ("OCDs") or functionally equivalent Equipment used to provide Advanced Services. (5) Remote switch modules ("RSMs") used in conjunction, via an umbilical, with host switches located in different CLEC locations.

Eligible Equipment for Collocation. 12.4.1 of (a) Requesting Carrier may Collocate equipment necessary for Interconnection with Ameritech or access to Ameritech’s unbundled Network Elements and any equipment necessary for the foregoing purposes if such equipment has built-in switching or routing features and functions or enhanced services functionalities. Requesting Carrier shall not Collocate equipment that is not necessary for either access to Ameritech’s unbundled Network Elements or for Interconnection, including equipment used exclusively for switching or for enhanced services. Further, Requesting Carrier (and, for Shared Caged Collocation, Resident Collocators) may not Collocate cross-connect panels or cross-connect blocks in quantities greater than Collocated equipment will support (individually or in the aggregate). As used in this “built-in” means that a single piece of equipment has multiple functions (e.g. multiplexing and switching) but specifically does not permit Requesting Carrier to Collocate equipment that has stand-alone switching or enhanced service functionality that is then connected in Ameritech’s Premises to other equipment necessary for Interconnection with Ameritech or access to Ameritech’s unbundled Network Elements. Equipment necessary for Interconnection with Ameritech and access to Ameritech’s unbundled Network Elements includes: OLTM equipment; Multiplexers, including asynchronous transfer mode (“ATM”) multiplexers;

Eligible Equipment for Collocation. 6.1 SBC-13STATE will allow Equipment to be collocated only if (1) it is "necessary" for interconnection to the SBC- 13STATE's network for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange service or exchange access, or for access to SBC-13STATE's unbundled network elements ("UNEs") for the provision of a Telecommunications Service, under all the standards and requirements addressed in this Section 6, or (2) SBC-13STATE voluntarily decides to allow the Equipment to be collocated on a non-discriminatory basis.

Eligible Equipment for Collocation. 12716496.1 80509 940C 00650405 Types of Equipment: In accordance with Section 251(c)(6) of the Telecommunications Act, Requesting Carrier may collocate equipment “necessary for interconnection or access to unbundled network elements.” For purposes of this section, “necessary” means directly related to and thus necessary, required, or indispensable to interconnection or access to unbundled network elements. Such uses are limited to interconnection to Ameritech’s network “for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange access,” or for access to unbundled network elements “for the provision of a telecommunications service.” Equipment that may be collocated solely for these purposes includes: (1) transmission equipment including, but not limited to, optical terminating equipment and multiplexerrs; and (2) equipment being collocated to terminate basic transmission facilities pursuant to sections 64.1401 and 64.1402 of 47 C.F.R. (Expanded Interconnection) as of August 1, 1996.
