MTE Terminal Subloop Access Clause Samples
The MTE Terminal Subloop Access clause establishes the terms under which a telecommunications provider can access the subloop wiring at the Main Terminating Equipment (MTE) within a building. This clause typically outlines the technical and procedural requirements for gaining access to the wiring that connects individual units or premises to the main network, such as specifying notification procedures, access times, and any necessary coordination with building management. Its core practical function is to ensure that service providers can efficiently connect or maintain customer lines within multi-tenant environments, thereby promoting competition and service quality while minimizing disruption to property owners and tenants.
MTE Terminal Subloop Access. Terms and Conditions
9.3.3.1 Access to Distribution Loops or Intrabuilding Cable Loops at an MTE Terminal within a non-CenturyLink owned MTE is done through an MTE-POI. Collocation is not required to access Subloops used to access the network infrastructure within an MTE, unless CLEC requires the placement of equipment in a CenturyLink Premises. Cross Connect Collocation, as defined in Section 9.3, refers to creation of a cross connect field and does not constitute Collocation as defined in Section 8. The terms and conditions of Section 8 do not apply to Cross Connect Collocation if required at or near an MTE.
9.3.3.2 To obtain such access, CLEC shall complete the "MTE-Access Ordering Process" set forth in Section 9.3.5.4.
9.3.3.3 The optimum point and method to access Subloop elements will be determined during the MTE Access Ordering Process. The Parties recognize a mutual obligation to interconnect in a manner that maintains network integrity, reliability, and security. CLEC may access the MTE Terminal as a test access point.
9.3.3.4 CLEC will work with the MTE building owner to determine where to terminate its facilities within the MTE. CLEC will be responsible for all work associated with bringing its facilities into and terminating the facilities in the MTE. CLEC shall seek to work with the building owner to create space for such terminations without requiring CenturyLink to rearrange its facilities.
9.3.3.5 If there is space in the building for CLEC to enter the building and terminate its facilities without CenturyLink having to rearrange its facilities, CLEC must seek to use such space. In such circumstances, an inventory of CLEC's terminations within the MTE shall be input into CenturyLink's systems to support Subloop orders before Subloop orders are provisioned or in conjunction with the first Subloop order in the MTE. CenturyLink shall have five (5) Days from receipt of a written request from CLEC, in addition to the interval set forth in Section 9.3.5.4.1, to input the inventory of CLEC's terminations into its systems. If CLEC requires immediate access to the Subloop, then CLEC may access the Subloop element prior to the completion of the inventory per Section 9.3.5.4.7. CenturyLink may seek an extended interval if the work cannot reasonably be completed within the stated interval. In such cases, CenturyLink shall provide written notification to CLEC of the extended interval CenturyLink believes is necessary to complete the work. CLEC may disput...
