What is UNE-P?What are Unbundled Network Elements?Unbundled Network Elements (also known as UNE) are a requirement mandated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. They are the parts of the network that the ILECs are required to offer on an unbundled basis. Together, these parts make up a loop that connects to a DSLAM or a voice switch (or both). The loop allows non-facilities-based telecommunications providers to deliver service without laying network infrastructure (copper/fiber). Unbundled Network Elements PlatformUNE-Platform (also known as UNE-P) is a combination of UNEs (loop + port is SBC's definition, port involves switching which is bought per minute at a "cost" rate from the RBOCs) that allow end to end service delivery without ANY facilities. Despite not involving any CLEC facilities, it still requires facilities-based certification from the PUC to deliver services via UNE-P. On February 20, 2003, the FCC adopted new rules for network unbundling obligations of Incumbent Local Phone Carriers. The FCC's decision is available here. Are you a UNE-P? If so, then you need Carrier Access Billing.
Why? As a provider of local telecommunications facilities, you have the right to share the revenue that other carriers earn when they use your local loop to complete long distance calls to your customers. Your revenue share compensates you for the cost of provisioning the network. It allows you to provide better services to your customers. It can make a major contribution to your profitability and competitiveness. Generally, network data such as wire centers and routes is loaded manually for each LEC. Since the introduction of the Unbundled Network Elements Platform (UNE-P), this is a huge task as most UNE-P LECs purchase or lease the facilities in several states at a time. Without InterconnecT CABS CG, you must load hundreds of rate centers and thousands of routes. InterconnecT CABS CG allows the importing of this information from the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). An entire state or regional location can be imported at once, saving many hours of complex work that can only be done by persons with extensive knowledge of the telecommunications network. InterconnecT CABS CG from Intec Telecom Systems empowers you to track, accumulate and bill your long distance carrier partners with a minimum investment in system, training and staff costs, and maximum results in collecting all the revenues you have earned with your network. You can even let our service bureau handle everything! Would you like more information about UNE-P and Carrier Access Billing?
