Common use of Unbundled Sub-Loop Concentration System (USLC Clause in Contracts

Unbundled Sub-Loop Concentration System (USLC. 2.9.1 Where facilities permit, BellSouth will provide to ALLTEL with the ability to concentrate its sub-loops onto multiple DS1s back to the BellSouth Central Office. The DS1s will then be terminated into ALLTEL’s collocation space. TR-008 and TR303 interface standards are available. 2.9.2 USLC, using the Lucent Series 5 equipment, will be offered in two different systems. System A will allow up to 96 of ALLTEL’s sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. System B will allow an additional 96 of ALLTEL’s sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. One System A may be supplemented with one System B and they both must be physically located in a single Series 5 dual channel bank. A minimum of two DS1s is required for each system (i.e., System A requires two DS1s and System B would require an additional two DS1s or four in total). The DS1 level facility that connects the RT site with the serving wire center is known as a Feeder Interface. All DS1 Feeder Interfaces will terminate to the CLEC’s collocation space within the SWC that serves the RT where the CLEC’s sub-loops are connected. USLC service is offered with or without concentration and with or without a protection DS1. 2.9.3 In these scenarios ALLTEL would be required to deliver a cable to the BellSouth remote terminal. This cable would be connected, by a BellSouth technician, to a cross-connect panel within the BellSouth RT/cross-box and would allow ALLTEL’s sub-loops to then be placed on the USLC and transported to their collocation space at a DS1 level.

Unbundled Sub-Loop Concentration System (USLC. 2.9.1 6.3.1 Where facilities permitpermit and where necessary to comply with an effective Commission order, BellSouth will provide to ALLTEL Telepak with the ability to concentrate its sub-loops onto multiple DS1s back to the BellSouth Central Office. The DS1s will then be terminated into ALLTELTelepak’s collocation space. TR-008 and TR303 interface standards are available. 2.9.2 6.3.2 USLC, using the Lucent Series 5 equipment, will be offered in two different systemssizes. System A will allow up to 96 of ALLTELTelepak’s sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. System B will allow an additional 96 up to 192 of ALLTELTelepak’s sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. One System A may be supplemented with one upgraded to a System B and they both must be physically located in a single Series 5 dual channel bank. B. A minimum of two DS1s is required for each system (i.e., System A requires two DS1s and System B would require an additional two DS1s or four in total). The DS1 level facility that connects the RT site with the serving wire center is known as a Feeder Interface. All DS1 Feeder Interfaces will terminate to the CLECtoTelepak’s collocation space within the SWC that serves the RT where the CLECTelepak’s sub-loops are connected. USLC service is offered with or without concentration and with or without a protection DS1. 2.9.3 6.3.3 In these scenarios ALLTEL Telepak would be required to place a cross-box, RT, or other similar device and deliver a cable to the BellSouth remote terminal. This cable would be connected, by a BellSouth technician, connected to a cross-connect panel within the BellSouth RT/cross-box RT and would allow ALLTELTelepak’s sub-loops to then be placed on the USLC ULSC and transported to their collocation space at a DS1 level.

Unbundled Sub-Loop Concentration System (USLC. 2.9.1 6.3.1 Where facilities permitpermit and where necessary to comply with an effective Commission order, BellSouth will provide to ALLTEL Palm Beach Telephone with the ability to concentrate its sub-loops onto multiple DS1s back to the BellSouth Central Office. The DS1s will then be terminated into ALLTELPalm Beach Telephone’s collocation space. TR-008 and TR303 interface standards are available. 2.9.2 6.3.2 USLC, using the Lucent Series 5 equipment, will be offered in two different systemssizes. System A will allow up to 96 of ALLTELPalm Beach Telephone’s sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. System B will allow an additional 96 up to 192 of ALLTELPalm Beach Telephone’s sub-loops to be concentrated onto multiple DS1s. One System A may be supplemented with one upgraded to a System B and they both must be physically located in a single Series 5 dual channel bank. B. A minimum of two DS1s is required for each system (i.e., System A requires two DS1s and System B would require an additional two DS1s or four in total).

All DS1 Feeder Interfaces will terminate to the CLEC’s collocation space within the SWC that serves the RT where the CLEC’s sub-loops are connected. USLC service is offered with or without concentration and with or without a protection DS1. 2.9.3 6.3.3 In these scenarios ALLTEL Palm Beach Telephone would be required to place a cross-box, remote terminal (RT), or other similar device and deliver a cable to the BellSouth BST remote terminal. This cable would be connected, by a BellSouth technician, connected to a cross-connect panel within the BellSouth RT/cross-box BST RT and would allow ALLTELPalm Beach Telephone’s sub-loops to then be placed on the USLC ULSC and transported to their collocation space at a DS1 level.
