Network resource rental
Network resource services are part of the portfolio of services of Telia Eesti AS (hereinafter ‘Telia’) aimed at domestic and international communications undertakings as part of their own services to the end user.
The services in the physical network resource field are offered as rental services, which are formed from the free resources of Telia’s physical cable network, cable installation tracks and network node infrastructure.
As part of the service, Telia offers its customers the possibility to use the following:
- Copper cable pairs with a transmitted frequency band between 0 and 3,400 Hz. It is designed for the transmission of voice-frequency signals or the use of analog modems operating in this band.
- Selected pair of copper cables with no restriction on the transmitted frequency band. It is designed for the use of compression devices or digital modems and enables the provision of mobile internet services based on DSL technology.
- The part of the copper pair spectrum that allows the customer to use the part of the spectrum above the voice frequency of the copper pair used by Telia for the provision of mobile internet services based on DSL technology. In this case, the copper pair will be jointly used by the customer and Telia.
The technical prerequisite for the use of copper cable pairs in the service area of a specific Telia network node is the existence of a physical connection or the creation of a physical connection between the Telia main distribution frame and the customer's device located in the respective network node. Telia will allow the customer’s equipment to be connected to its main distribution frame by means of a connection cable with a customer endpoint which is:
- a demarcation point, which is a physically identifiable point in the Telia cable vault in the immediate vicinity of the Telia network node;
- or a customer’s device located in the Telia equipment room situated in the same network node with main distribution frame.
The terminal point of the customer-side connection cable is generally the demarcation point. In order to establish a physical connection from the demarcation point to the equipment located at the customer’s premises, Telia offers the customer the possibility to use a cable sewerage rental service, if the customer so wishes. Telia provides the use of the cable sewerage rental service to the customer on the basis of separate agreements. Read about the ‘Cable Duct Rental Rules’ (PDF) (EST).
The terminal point of the connection cable on the customer side can also be the customer’s device. Telia allows the customer to accommodate the device used for the consumption of the customer’s copper cable pair rental service in its equipment rooms, provided that the technical facilities are available. Telia allows the customer the hosting of equipment in its equipment rooms on the basis of separate agreements with the customer. You can find out more about the terms and conditions for hosting equipment in the terms and conditions of the service.
Equipment hosting price list (EST)
In the event that the technical capabilities of Telia’s equipment room are limited, Telia will allow the customer’s equipment used for the consumption of the copper cable pair rental service to be installed in its equipment room, unless Telia’s development plans provide for the use of the technical resources of the relevant room within two years. The respective requests of the customers will be processed in the order in which they are received.
