UBA Backhaul

The UBA Backhaul Service allows service providers to transport their Enhanced UBA Service from any First Data Switch (FDS) to their own Point of Presence.  UBA Backhaul is a high speed service delivered over Telecom's Next Generation Network (NGN) Ethernet platform. 

UBA Backhaul is an intermediate input which provides the Layer 2 transport service component which service providers can combine with their Enhanced UBA Tail Service to provide end-users with a multi-class ADSL2+ Tail wherever the Ethernet network has been rolled out.
