Common use of Operations Telecommunications System Clause in Contracts

Operations Telecommunications System. Island Link  Telecommunication System shall be comprised of three separate layers: Optical Transport Network (OTN), Convergence, and Access Layers.  OTN Layer shall be the telecommunications backbone and utilize the OPGW, All Dielectric Self Supporting (ADSS) or equivalent fibre optic infrastructure. The OTN Layer equipment nodes shall be designed based upon the least total cost of ownership alternative.  Convergence Layer shall be based on the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) international standard. It shall be used to create logical point-to-point telecommunication links between all MF locations. It will multiplex and de-multiplex the Access Layer subsystems for transmission on the OTN.  Access Layer shall be based on the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) standard. It shall be comprised of a minimum of three separate telecommunication systems: Protection and Control, SCADA, and Administrative systems. The Administrative system may include the following subsystems: telephony, corporate data, security access control system, and video surveillance. The Island Transmission Link Telecommunication Assets specifically includes the following.  HVdc OPGW fibre optics connecting  Muskrat Falls Converter Station to Forteau Point Transition Compound  Shoal Cove Transition Compound to Soldiers Pond Converter Station  ADSS fibre optics connecting  Forteau Point Transition Compound to the L’Anse au Diable Electrode  Soldiers Pond Converter Station to Xxxxxx’x Point Electrode  Fibre optic infrastructure shall also be used to connect  Forteau Point Transition Compound to Shoal Cove Transition Compound by optic fibres embedded in each power cable being installed across the SOBI  Soldiers Pond Converter Station to the NLH Energy Control Centre (ECC) in St. John’s  Soldiers Pond Converter Station to the NLH Backup Control Centre (BCC)  OTN Layer optical-electronics associated with the above referenced HVdc OPGW fibre optic interconnections.  Convergence and Access Layers telecommunication systems associated with all of the above referenced fibre optic interconnections, except these telecommunication layers at MF.  NLH ECC and BCC SCADA system upgrades TRANSMISSION FUNDING AGREEMENT SCHEDULE 2 FORM OF ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULE 2 FORM OF ASSIGNMENT TABLE OF CONTENTS ARTICLE 1 INTERPRETATION 1 1.1 Definitions 1 1.2 Construction of Agreement 6 1.3 Applicable Law and Submission to Jurisdiction 7
