Common use of Loops Clause in Contracts

Loops. The local loop network component is a tranmsission facility that A&TT provides between a distribution frame (or its equivalent) in AT&T’s central office and the loop demarcation point at an End User premises. Facilities that do not terminate at a demarcation point at an End User ATT 1 – SERVICESA/ T&T-9STATE premises, including, by way of example, but nolimt ited to, facilitieshtat terminate to another carrier’s switch or premises, a cell site, Mobile Switching Center or base station, do not constitute local loops. The loop includes all features, funocntis, and capabilities of the transmission facilities, including the network interface device, and attached electronics (except those used for the provision of advanced services, such as Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs)), optronics and intermediate devices (including repeaters and load coils) used to establish the transmission path to the End User’s premises, including inside wire owned or controlled by AT&T. CUSTOMER shall purchase the entire bandwidth of the loop and, except as required herein or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, AT&T shall not subdivide the frequency of the loop. 3.7.1 Except as set forth herein, 2-wire voicegradleoops may be provisioned uinsg any typeof facility that will support voicegrade services. This mainyclude loaded copper, nonlo-aded copper, digital loop carrier systems, fiber/copper combination (hybrid loop) or a combination of any of these facilities. AT&T, at any timein, the normal course of maintaing, repairing, andconfiguring its network, may also changehte facilities thatare used to provide the looputilized inconjunction with theWholesale Local Platform Service. This change may occur at any time. In these situations, AT&Twill only ensure that the newly provdi ed facility will support the smae voicegrade services provided by theWholesale Local Platform Services. 2-wire voice grade loops come in two (2) different service levels - SL1 and SL2. 3.7.1.1 SL1 2-wire voicegrade loops aer2-wire loop start circuitsw, ill be non-designed, andwill not have remote access test points. 3.7.1.2 SL2 2-wire voicegrade loops shall have remoateccess test points and will be designed with a DLR provided to CUSTOMER. SL2 circuits can be provisioned with a loop start, ground start or reverse battery signaling. 3.7.2 As specified, certainWholesale Local Pal tform services utilize digtai l loop network components. Digital loops are service specific, will be degsnied and will be provisioned withtest points (where appropriate). 3.7.2.1 The following digital loops shall apply to Wholesale Local Platform Services:
