Spectrum Sharing Service

Telstra Wholesale's Spectrum Sharing Service (SSS) provides carriers and service providers with access to non-voice frequency spectrum on the twisted metallic pair. 

Telstra also provides its analogue telephone service (POTS) to end users over the same metallic pair.

When providing SSS, Telstra supplies a Public Service Telephone Service (PSTS) voice band service to an end user, while providing access to the same line to another carrier or service provider (the access seeker) so that the access seeker can acquire SSS.  By acquiring SSS, the access seeker can simultaneously provide other services (typically ADSL broadband) over the high frequency portion of the line.

SSS is normally used to provide data services via an access seeker’s DSLAM located in the TEBA space in Telstra exchanges.

Further information about Spectrum Sharing is available from Telstra Wholesale account managers. Prospective customers can read more about how to do business with Telstra Wholesale.
