Common use of Access networks Clause in Contracts

Access networks. DRAFT Access networks are used to physically connect multiple types of customers (corporate, residen- tial) to the service providers network. There are different types of access network depending on which physical media they are based on (radio, optical fibre, copper, coax), their scope and level of service. In this document we focus on four types of access technologies which provide a very representative set of the full access network spectrum: • LTE Advanced as an example of cellular radio access networks. • IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) as an example of Wireless Local access networks. • xDSL as an example of copper-based access networks.
