Common use of Loops Clause in Contracts

Loops. The local loop network component is a transmission facility that BellSouth provides between a distribution frame (or its equivalent) in BellSouth’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 premises, including, by way of example, but not limited to, facilities that 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, functions, 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 BellSouth. CUSTOMER shall purchase the entire bandwidth of the loop and, except as required herein or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, BellSouth shall not subdivide the frequency of the loop. 3.7.1 Except as set forth herein, 2-wire voice grade loops may be provisioned using any type of facility that will support voice grade services. This may include loaded copper, non-loaded copper, digital loop carrier systems, fiber/copper combination (hybrid loop) or a combination of any of these facilities. BellSouth, at any time, in the normal course of maintaining, repairing, and configuring its network, may also change the facilities that are used to provide the loop utilized in conjunction with the Wholesale Local Platform Service. This change may occur at any time. In these situations, BellSouth will only ensure that the newly provided facility will support the same voice grade services provided by the Wholesale Local Platform Services. 2-wire voice grade loops come in two (2) different service levels - SL1 and SL2. 3.7.1.1 XX0 0-xxxx voice grade loops are 2-wire loop start circuits, will be non-designed, and will not have remote access test points. Version: 3Q06 MBR 07/18/06 7.1.2 XX0 0-xxxx voice grade loops shall have remote access 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.
