DSL Service over the
Fiber To The Curb (FTTC) Network in
Richardson, Texas
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company1 (“SWBT”), offers this Attachment A to cover

Description of Infrastructure
1.1
The FTTC network deployed by SWBT in Richardson, Texas is a unique
architecture consisting of an Optical Concentrator Device (OCD) in the
Richardson central office, capable of DS3 or OC3c connection to the
CLEC’s collocated location. The OCD passes ATM packetized signals
over a dedicated, separate fiber facility from the voice side of the central
office to the Remote Terminal, where an FTTC Host Digital Terminal
device is housed. Optical Splitters on the back of the Remote HDT pass a
digital signal further toward the end user location to an Optical Network
Unit, this time via joint fiber with the voice path. The ONU will segregate
the voice from the data, with a separate copper feed to the end user, for
voice traffic and either a separate coaxial or copper feed for the DSL
traffic both terminating at the Network Interface Device, (NID). As with
other services, SWBT will not be responsible for Customer Provided
Equipment (CPE), including but not limited to a compatible modem or
inside wire.
1.2
Access to the XDSL over FTTC is provided under this Agreement where
FTTC is deployed and operational and where facilities are available to
serve a Residential End user served by the Richardson Central Office.
Availability can be confirmed via utilization of the Verigate system
On December 30, 2001, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (a Missouri corporation) was merged
with and into Southwestern Bell Texas, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and, pursuant to Texas law, was
converted to Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, doing business as
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (“SWBT”).
