Important note - 28/07/08: Openreach has concluded that it will not continue to develop Voice Line Access (VLA) but notes that BT Wholesale has announced plans to develop a VLA type product which allow CPs to construct a telephone service with a distinctive service/feature wrap.
updated: 05/06/2007Product information
Openreach has initiated a feasibility study to explore the potential for a product which can support MPF and SMPF on the same copper pair. This product has been requested by LLU CPs and may also be appropriate as a suitable Openreach input to downstream VLA-type products.
The above was contained in a brief issued on 15/07/08 the full text of which can be accessed by clicking on the following link - http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/news/21cn/downloads/briefing_21CN001_08.pdf
The documents contained in this area will be archived 3 months from this notice being posted.
The initial high level requirements of the Voice Line Access product is being shared with industry as part of a formal consultation which invites structured feedback relating to the scope, timing and demand.
You will have the opportunity to provide feedback on these potential design scenarios up to 27th July, when the consultation will close. To assist and focus your feedback we have also made available a Consultation Feedback Form. Feedback should also be include a response to the VLA technical features consultation available from the Consult21 link below.
