Distant location

Written on 4:14 PM by ooe

Distant location was initially conceived to address the situation where some BT exchanges would offer insufficient accommodation to meet OLO demands for physical collocations. It uses an external tie cable from the BT MDF to premises or street furniture obtained by an LLU operator, near to the BT building. Providing accommodation for distant location is the responsibility of the LLU operator although BT may be sub-contracted to undertake the installation.

Distant location does not require the LLU operator to place equipment in or even to enter the BT building so there are many fewer restrictions on the design of the LLU operator equipment and operations. Distant locations have been built in nearby buildings and in self-contained street cabinets.
