Telstra Equipment Building Access

Telstra Equipment Building Access (TEBA) offers access to floor space and other facilities such as security, electricity, cable trays and interconnection cables in Telstra exchange buildings. As a Telstra Wholesale customer you are able to install and operate your own equipment for interconnection with Telstra. You may also be able to use TEBA to install radio communications equipment if you have antennas at that site.

A current Telstra Wholesale customer who is a licensed carrier or carriage service provider may be eligible for TEBA, subject to agreement to the relevant terms and conditions for access:

• For licensed carriers, the relevant schedule in the Customer Relationship Agreement is CRA20.
• In a facilities access agreement, the relevant schedules are FA21 and/or FA25.
• For carriage service providers, the relevant schedules are CRA22 or FA22.

The minimum unit of TEBA floor space available is one rack position. Each rack position is typically 600mm W x 900mm D x 2000mm H, however these dimensions are subject to review. Your Telstra Wholesale account manager can provide updated information about this on request.

Established TEBA areas will normally have the following services available:

• 48V DC power
• overhead cable systems
• cable trays to the MDF to house interconnection cables for connection to Unconditioned Local Loop (ULL) and Spectrum Sharing Services.

Before installing equipment in a Telstra building, a TEBA area with supporting infrastructure must already exist or must be prepared, providing sufficient space is available. Use the list of established TEBA sites (PDF, 353KB) to check availability.
