LocalThe eWPTS New Line CLEC View Application
The eWPTS New Line CLEC View Application will support the workflow of end users by providing a single, unified easy-to-use interface to service order data, and status information from all relevant Verizon Operations Support System (OSS). There is a variety of Verizon New Line products offered to Verizon's CLEC/DLEC customers.
The eWPTS New Line application will handle the following types of orders:
Analog New Lines
The unbundled 2-wire analog loop provides a channel for the transmission of analog signals from a CLECs distribution frame at the end user's serving wire center to a end user premises.
Digital New Lines
Digital subscriber loops allow CLECs that are collocated to connect to Verizon subscriber loops that are designed to support digital services.
Unbundled Subloop New Lines
USLA allows a CLEC with its own switching and F1 facilities to gain access to Verizon's F2 facilities by means of building its own cabinet, called a Telecommunications Carrier Outside Plant Interconnection Cabinet (TOPIC), which is connected by cable to Verizon's FDI. Sub-Loops are 2 Wire or 4 Wire transmission channels capable of supporting voice or data services. Verizon provides CLECs the option to access unbundled Sub-Loops in cases where it would not be practical or economically feasible for a CLEC to build or extend its own network.
House & Riser
House and Riser Cable Service allows a CLEC with it's own switching and loop facilities, to provide service to End User customers located in high rise buildings with multiple residential or commercial units, in cases where Verizon owns and maintains the telecommunications facilities within the building.
There are a variety of Verizon Shared Services products offered to Verizon's CLEC/DLEC customers. Service sharing permits the CLEC to offer data to an end customer over Verizon's voice loop facilities, requiring that Verizon loop facilities be partitioned and shared. Hence, Shared Services orders are typically service "Change" orders for an existing Verizon customer. Typically two (2) related orders are issued, one to accomplish the physical and electronic changes that need to be made to support sharing on the customer's loop, and another to initiate billing to the CLEC for the sharing arrangement.
eWPTS Shared Service CLEC View Application
The eWPTS Shared Services CLEC View Application is a web based organizational and notification tool. The eWPTS Shared Services CLEC View Application will support the workflow of end users & the Verizon Provisioning Teams, by providing a single, unified easy-to-use interface to service order data, and status information from relevant Verizon Operations Support Systems.
The eWPTS Shared Services CLEC View application will support the following types of Shared Services orders:
Line Sharing (Non-Conforming Loop identifier)
Line Sharing, a non-designed unbundled product, allows CLEC's to provide a separate high-speed data channel to work on an existing copper pair. Line Sharing is divided into 2 subcategories:
- Option A - The Line Sharing option when the splitter is located in the Cage.
- Option C - The Line Sharing option when the Splitter is located between the MDF (Main Distribution Frame) and the Cage.
Line Splitting
Line Splitting provides with the ability CLECs to offer both voice and data over the same unbundled analog copper cable pair (loop) facility in order to offer an integrated voice and data service to the same CLEC end user customer with each provider employing different analog frequencies to transport voice and data on that line. Line Splitting consists of a xDSL-based service provisioned by a data CLEC (DLEC) and the voiceband service provisioned by a voice CLEC (VLEC).
Line Splitting is different from Line Sharing in that, in Line Splitting both the voice and the data services are provided by CLECs. In Line Sharing the voice service must be provided by the ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier). If Platform service is not in place an LSR must be issued to order Platform service and a second order must be issued to add Line Splitting. If Line Sharing already exists, Verizon will process migrations from Line Sharing to Line Splitting. To provision Line Splitting, xDSL service is added to a local loop that is being used for "traditional" voice service by deploying splitters at the end user's premises and at the central office.
Line Sharing - House and Riser
Line Sharing - House and Riser provides an ADSL high frequency transmission channel between the CLEC Neutral Block and the Terminal Box located in the basement where the network side of Verizon's H&R facilities terminates.
Line Sharing Unbundled Sub-Loop (LSUSLA)
LSUSLA is only available on distribution pairs that have been currently equipped with Verizon Retail POTS dial tone and where the high frequency portion of the spectrum is available for ADSL use.
The TOPIC (Telecommunications Outside Plant Interconnection Cabinet) will be installed and provided by the CLEC within 100 feet of the FDI (Feeder Distribution Interface). The CLEC, at its discretion, can share the TOPIC with other CLECs. The TOPIC can be split between LSUSLA and the Subloop p Line Shared Unbundled Sub-Loop Arrangement (LSUSLA), a non-designed Unbundled product, will be offered to CLEC's to allow a separate high-speed data channel to work on an existing F2 copper pair.
The UNE-Platform/Resale services are combinations of unbundled switch ports and Unbundled Loops recombined for the CLEC's use. The product consists of a combination of the Unbundled Local Loop connected to the unbundled local switching equipment, which provides access to translations and basic telephone service. The product also includes optional Dedicated Trunk Port providing access to Dedicated Transport, Unbundled Shared Trunk Port, Common Transport, Signaling Systems and other call related databases, as well as E991 Directory Assistance, and Operator Services.
Platform/Partner Solutions Advantage
Platform service provides CLEC combinations of Unbundled Network Elements (UNE). Platform Service is a combination of a UNE loop and a UNE port. CLEC's are not required to have a collocation arrangement with this product. They must, however, be certified in the state they are ordering the platform service, and have a signed contract or inter-connection agreement for both Unbundled Network Elements and Network Design Request (NDR).
Partner Solutions Advantage is a product designed to replace existing Platform service and utilize the functions and structures currently in place of Platform products. Once the CLEC signs a commercial agreement with Verizon, the Partner Solutions Advantage product will include a number of features and services that are not currently available for Platform customers.
Resale - POTS and "designed" SPECIALS
Resale service entails a CLEC purchasing Verizon retail service at a discounted rate and reselling it to their end users. Verizon bills the CLEC for services provided, and in turn, the CLEC is responsible for billing the end user.
UNE PLATFORM SPECIALS
UNE Platform Specials are an unbundled designed service consisting of a UNE port and a loop. The customer may place orders for DID, DOD or 2-way Trunks. CLEC's are not required to have a collocation arrangement with this product.
