System and method of providing telecommunications special services to a telecommunications customer

摘要

A system and method for providing telecommunications special services to customers of a communications service provider includes receiving first communications signals from customer premise equipment. The first communications signals may be processed using a special services card to generate second communications signal. The second communications signal may be communicated to a line termination unit operating externally from a BBDLC. The second communications signal may be processed by the line termination unit to generate a third communications signal. The third communications signal may be communicated to a transport card operating in the BBDLC. By externally processing special services signals from the BBDLC, bandwidth of the BBDLC may be utilized more efficiently.

1. A method for providing telecommunications special services to customers of a communications service provider, said method comprising:
receiving a first communications signal from customer premise equipment wherein the first communication signal is a special services signal sent at a rate of less than 1 gigabit per second; processing the first communications signal using a special services card to generate a second communications signal; communicating the second communications signal to a line termination unit operating externally from a BBDLC wherein the BBDLC operates communications cards at data rates of at least 10 gigabits per second; processing the second communications signal by the line termination unit to generate a third communications signal; and communicating the third communications signal to a transport card operating in the BBDLC wherein the special services card, line termination unit and BBDLC are configured within a communication cabinet.
