Unbundled Network Element (UNE) Non-Recurring Cost Study
UNE Provisioning
GTE’s
UNEs
fall into four categories: Exchange
-
Basic, Exchange
-
Complex,
AdvancedSpecial
-
Basic, and AdvancedSpecial
-
Complex. Each of these groupings has a
distinct provisioning process and associated non-recumng costs. For each category, GTE has
costed the activities required to pre-order, order, provision, and install the
UNEs.
(Descriptions
of
the
UNEs
are in the next section.)
There are two fundamental distinctions between the
UNE
categories. The first distinction is
whether or not a service requires desigdengineering. The Exchange services do not require
design
or
engineering, whereas the SpeciaVAdvanced services are designedengineered services
with variables specific to the order placed by the CLEC. The SpeciaVAdvanced services require
Circuit Design Layout Records (CLRDLR).
The second distinction is between Basic and Complex services. Basic services can be
provisioned using standard network components maintained in inventory without specialized
instructions for switch translations, routing, and service arrangements. The Complex services
require special instructions for the provisioning of the service to meet the customer’s needs.
GTE uses a Data Gathering Form (DGF) to record and organize these instructions for
translations and service arrangements.
