ACIF C559:2006 defines the performance requirements for DSL and other technologies on copper access network. The Code offers a coordinated approach to reduce the risk of interference between services deployed over access networks.
ACIF first published the Unconditioned Local Loop Service (ULLS) Network Deployment Rules Industry Code in August 2001. On the advice of the Network Reference Panel, the ACIF executive made some corrections in March 2002 to Part 3 of this Industry Code for clarity of and consistency between the definitions of Deployment Classes.
The Code was revised in 2003 to include in the Code the facility for use of a modified Crosstalk Calculation Template where a Non-deployment Class System is obtained by a linear filtering of the transmit PSD of a Deployment Class System, without any change to the line code plus some agreed changes to Benchmarks based on industry experience.
The Code was revised in 2005 to include Deployment Classes based on ADSL2, ADSL2+ and ESHDSL.
The Code was revised in 2006 to include Deployment Classes based on ADSL2 and ADSL2+ with extended upstream bandwidth.
Non-Deployment Class Systems
There is also a list of Non-Deployment Class Systems that may be of interest to anyone using ACIF C559:2006. Refer to ACIF C559:2006 for information on what is a Non-Deployment Class System. Refer to ACIF G618:2004 Approval of Non-Deployment Class Systems Industry Guideline for information on the process to propose a Non-Deployment Class System. |
ACIF Spectral Compatibility Software Tool
The December 2005 version of the ACIF Spectral Compatibility Software Tool is available from us. Please contact us if you would like the Tool to be emailed to you. You will be sent a zip file (.zip, 2.7MB) which consists of a license agreement, a user manual and the Tool (.xls format, 16MB). The Tool can be used for the calculation of the crosstalk scenarios in ACIF C559.

ACIF C569:2005 Unconditioned Local Loop Service - Ordering, Provisioning and Customer Transfer
ACIF C569_2005 (.pdf, 497 KB)
This Code provides a carrier/CSP operational framework for the ordering and provisioning of the unconditioned local loop pairs and the transfer of customers between CSPs.
Note: There was a limited revision of the Code in 2005 to modify clauses affected by changes to fair trading legislation in New South Wales and Victoria. The next review is scheduled to occur in November 2007.
