Common use of Collocation of Switching Equipment Clause in Contracts

Collocation of Switching Equipment. CLEC may collocate any equipment that is necessary for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements. 8.2.1.2.1 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMS) always meet this legal standard. 8.2.1.2.2 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Packet Switching also meets this legal standard when used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements for purposes of providing Advanced Services such as xDSL. Equipment used predominantly to support DSLAMs and ATMs, such as routers and concentrators, as well as testing and network management equipment also meet this legal standard. Before any equipment that includes switching functionality is installed, CLEC must provide a written inventory to CenturyLink of all switching equipment and how it will be used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements. Once CLEC establishes that it will use a certain type of equipment for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements, CenturyLink will allow future Collocations of similar equipment without requesting a written justification unless and until CenturyLink can establish to the state Commission that such equipment is not intended for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements. However, CenturyLink will complete the Collocation within the appropriate interval unless granted relief by the Commission. 8.2.1.2.3 Remote Switching Units (RSUs) also meet this legal standard when used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements for purposes of providing local Exchange Service. 8.2.1.2.4 Except as provided for in Sections 8.2.1.2.1 through 8.2.1.2.3 above, CLEC may not collocate equipment that is not necessary for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements.

Before any equipment that includes switching functionality is installed, CLEC must provide a written inventory to CenturyLink Qwest of all switching equipment and how it will be used for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements. Once CLEC establishes that it will use a certain type of equipment for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements, CenturyLink Qwest will allow future Collocations of similar equipment without requesting a written justification unless and until CenturyLink Qwest can establish to the state Commission that such equipment is not intended for Interconnection or access to Unbundled Network Elements.
