*Wide Area LAN Service 500/500 Mbps $640 Active Ethernet, highest priority, supports QinQ (two or more connections may be needed)
*Wide Area LAN Service 1000/1000 Mbps $830 Active Ethernet, highest priority, supports QinQ (two or more connections may be needed)
• Tier 1 – Transport service from the service provider’s port in the data center to a single customer location. Traffic is untagged at the customer. Circuit is typically asymmetric and priority is set at Best Effort across the core network. NCBA will observe a maximum 32:1 split.
• Tier 2 – Transport service from the carrier or provider’s port in the colo to a single customer location. Traffic is untagged at the customer. GPON circuits are symmetric and the priority is set higher than Tier 1 for better performance across the core network. NCBA will observe a maximum 16:1 split on this service tier for GPON connections. Active Ethernet connections are symmetric and have a higher traffic priority than Tier 1 services. An example of this is a package of Internet access for a business with regular use of videoconferencing, heavy cloud-based service use, and large file uploads.
• Tier 3 – Transport service between the carrier or provider’s port in the colo as well as between multiple customer locations (fee applies for each end-point outside of provider’s NNI). Passed traffic can be tagged or untagged as well as supporting Q-in-Q. The circuit is symmetric and traffic has the highest priority across the core network. An example of this would be a transparent LAN service to link two customer locations.
Non-recurring charges (NRC) are those costs incurred in connection with the installation of the fiber drop and ONT. The customer will be responsible for the payment of these cost on the following terms.
Colocation Charges for Providers within NCBA shelters:
Quantity Monthly Cost
2 RU $75.
One-half rack $200.
Full Rack $350.
All rentals are based on a space available basis. Rental will include access to one 20 amp, 120 volt circuit. Redundant CC power (-48 volt) will be available as well. The Colocation charges include up to 20 amps of DC power. Additional DC power, subject to availability, will be priced at $6.25 per amp in 10 amp increments.
Tower Access:
Location on Tower Price per Month per Customer
Top thirty feet in 10 feet sections $275 per antenna for first three antennas (includes cables and ancillary equipment such as tower mounted amplifiers) $150 per additional antenna installed by the same lessee.
Next thirty feet in 10 foot sections $175 per antenna for first three antennas (includes cables and ancillary equipment such as tower mounted amplifiers) $90 per additional antenna installed by the same lessee.
Remaining access in 10 foot sections $50 per antenna (includes cables and ancillary equipment such as tower mounted amplifiers)
All tower access charges are in addition to a site access fee of $200 per month. Site access fee entitles lessee access to electric power (contracted for by lessee) and ground space for cabinet (10 square feet). Shelter colocation charges and local transport charges are additional as are lease space for placing shelters, generators or other equipment. Items not specifically addressed will be priced on an individual basis.
Preference will be given to providers wishing space higher on the towers. The NCBA may limit the size of antennas or duration of leases for antennas located below the top 80 feet.
Tower leases will be accepted based on maximum allowable loading of a tower. If, in the sole discretion of the NCBA, an analysis of the structural integrity of the tower is deemed necessary, then the costs of the analysis will be borne by the lessee.
WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS (WISPs) may enter a master lease for tower space on all NCBA owned or operated towers. The tower access charge under the master lease (the “Master Tower Access Charge”) shall be $2,000 per month. For each tower the NCBA adds to its system subsequent to the adoption of this rate schedule, the Master Tower Access Charge shall automatically increase by $250 per month. The Master Tower Access Charge also includes any colocation charges in available shelters and cabinets located at the tower sites as well as 10 square feet of ground space for lessee’s cabinet. The location of the tower space leased pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in the sole discretion of the NCBA. If, in the sole discretion of the NCBA, an analysis of the structural integrity of a tower is deemed necessary, then the costs of the analysis will be borne by the lessee.
These rates apply to towers operated by the NCBA. Rates for towers leased by the NCBA may be subject to approval by the lessor.
Rates are firm for a contract or lease term which does not exceed five years.
For contract and lease terms exceeding five years, the contract or lease shall provide for either of the following payment adjustments: (a) if an extension of an original term is month-to-month or year-to-year, then beginning with the first month of the extension, payment shall be increased 3%, and thereafter by 3% on each subsequent annual anniversary, or (b) if the term is for five years with a right of renewal in five year increments, then upon each renewal payment shall be increased 12%.
Any sum due NCBA and unpaid by the due date shall be assessed a 10% penalty and carry interest at the rate of 12% per annum.
