To make it easy for you to grow your network, we are now including an Intra Candidate Area Backhaul (ICAB) with each new handover link purchase at specified Chorus exchanges. These ICABs will be provided between the following pairs of exchanges:

 

ICAB offer

 

 

It means that when you purchase a new handover link at one of the ‘new alternative exchanges’ you will be entitled to an ICAB to connect back to your existing equipment within Chorus colocation situated in an ‘existing exchange’ (as per the table above).

 

The offer is valid from 14 January 2019 until 13 January 2020 following which the full charges for ICABs on these routes will become applicable.

 

What’s changing


We are including these ICABs as part of the handover links due to capacity constraints at existing exchanges that are preventing the addition of new handover links at these exchanges.

 

Supporting details
 

Please get in touch with your account team during this period to create a relocation plan to move your equipment out of the existing exchanges to the new alternative exchanges. Having your equipment and handover links at one exchange will mean that you will no longer need ICABs to connect between two exchanges.
