The purpose of this document is to assist carriers with ordering IntelliLight Broadband Transport (IBT) service.
Long Distance providers can connect customers with high bandwidth over a shared infrastructure as a powerful source of revenue. Verizon's IntelliLight Broadband Transport (IBT) service provides a secure SONET-based interface for reliable, point-to-point fiber optic connection.
IBT is designed to establish high bandwidth connections at OC3/OC3c, OC12/OC12c, OC48/OC48c, OC192/OC192c rates and offers International SONET connection of STM1. Multiplexing capability can also be provided at the customer premises (network side of the demarcation point) or a Verizon wire center. IBT service protects your customers' local loops and interoffice facilities against slow network performance and loss of critical applications. IBT ties up all of the ends into neat and tidy interfaces for fast transport between two locations.

To order IBT, your account team should work with their Verizon Account Manager for pricing. The interval for a point-to-point where facilities exist is 18 days. The intervals for all other requests are negotiated with your Account Manager. The following flow chart illustrates the IBT ordering, design and implementation process.
A complete ASR is essential to properly provision and bill IBT access services. The following information pertains to the fields that will impact IBT requests. All fields on the ASR (including those not listed here) must be populated according to the Access Business Rules.
Note: When this product is ordered under a private carriage agreement (Forbearance), the Contract ID must be populated in the PNUM Field on the ASR Form. Learn more about Forbearance or contact your Account Manager for more details.
Once you have your Contract ID, it is no longer a requirement to contact your account team to place an order for Muxed IBT service. If the QA (Quote Authorization) field on the ASR is populated with a "Y," a Special Construction quote (if applicable) will be created and provided to you by your account team. Upon acceptance of the Special Construction quote, an agreement will be provided for signature. If Special Construction is required, the ASR will be temporarily suspended. Once the agreement is executed and effective, the ASR will be re-activated and processed. If Special Construction is not applicable, the ASR will be processed for provisioning.
If your Muxed IBT order contains, a dual or secondary entrance, a diverse riser, or a non-standard demarcation point within a building, then such specific requirements should be documented and added in the REMARKS field of the submitted ASR, and you should call your account team. Your account team will then ensure that the Special Construction quote includes these specific requirements.
The ordering process outlined above will reduce the time it takes to receive a Special Construction quote. If you wish, you can continue the process of contacting your account team to place an order.
