Adding new voice service to exhausted rural cable routes, presents Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) with a unique set of challenges where (1) an immediate service order response is needed and (2) the demand for service, along the typically “long thin” rural route, does not justify extensive cable rearrangements, cable placements or a Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) installation. Additionally, LECs must also ensure that any solution they deploy to meet these challenges must also be capable of delivering ADSL in the rural environment | l PG-Flexp us Rural Application application note Feeder Relief Situation Adding new voice service to exhausted rural cable routes presents Local Exchange Carriers LECs with a unique set of challenges where 1 an immediate service order response is needed and 2 the demand for service along the typically long thin rural route does not justify extensive cable rearrangements cable placements or a Digital Loop Carrier DLC installation. Additionally LECs must also ensure that any solution they deploy to meet these challenges must also be capable of delivering ADSL in the rural environment. Solution The PG-Flexp us Field Shelf allows LECs to meet their voice service demands on rural routes at distances of up to 144kft using HDSL service feed and greater distances using traditional T1 service feed. The PG-Flexp us Field Shelf s unique distributed facility relief architecture allows telcos to easily meet their demands for new services on long thin cable routes while solving underlying feeder distribution and drop challenges. The PG-Flexp us Field Shelf is an environmentally hardened system in outside plant friendly packaging. Each PG-Flexp us Field Shelf can deliver up to 96 voice lines to a wide range of line powered remote enclosures. The PG-Flexp us Field Shelf architecture also supports delivery of extended reach ADSL to remote areas of the rural network. Result Immediate servicing of held orders Solve underlying feeder distribution and drop problems Avoid expensive feeder cable reinforcement or rearrangments Provide voice services that support modems Deliver ADSL service with the PG-Flexp us Edge RAM and Edge IAD Implementation q Field Shelf The PG-Flexp us Field Shelf supports standard 212 mechanics T1 HDSL or HDSL2 interface cards and o provides a D4 or TR-08 interface to the DLC or Class 5 switch. The Field Shelf may be located on a o long thin route where a DLC cabinet or crossbox may be in place. The field shelf is pole wall or pedestal mounted and locally .
