The challenge for CLECs today, is to gain market share with sustainable profitability Unfortunately, most facilities based CLECs have yet to turn a profit ADC has a unique solution called PG-FlexPlus that is enabling CLECs to achieve their market share and profitability objectives In this application note, we show how the PG-FlexPlussolution is being used by leading CLECs to aggressively attack the small business market while simultaneously increasing their gross profits

Most CLECs, in an effort to serve small businesses, have deployed traditional Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) systems in their Co-Location Offices (COLOs) Traditional DLCs were designed for regulated rate-of-return based ILEC applications Traditional DLCs are capital intensive and are limited to offering only one telephone line per leased unbundled loop In ILEC applications, the general public helps to pay for the costs of equipment and costs of the copper pair CLECs by definition, are

“competitive” and are not guaranteed anything by the general public Unfortunately, the deployment of traditional DLCs by CLECs has been a major reason for the poor financial performance of these companies

In CLEC applications, PG-FlexPlusdirectly addresses the problems created by DLCs CLECs can use PG-FlexPlusas a complement to their existing DLCs to squeeze more profitability out of these legacy systems PG-FlexPlusminimizes initial capital expenditures with a “pay as you grow” architecture Additionally, PG-FlexPluscan reduce your recurring costs associated with leasing unbundled loops

by more than 80% This reduction in recurring costs is the key to getting a significant return on your investment and achieving sustainable profitability

DLC Complement - Application 1

The PG-FlexPlussolution works in conjunction with legacy DLC systems to reduce the number of unbundled loops required to serve your small business customers

A DLC system consumes an unbundled loop for every voice circuit delivered to your small business customer In the DLC complement application, the existing DLC line cards feed the PG-FlexPlus systems, and provide the GR-303 interface to the switch The PG-FlexPlus system transparently combines up to six toll grade full PCM voice lines, from the DLC, over a single unbundled loop, while supporting your existing POTS, CLASS, DDS, EBS or ISDN services
