Industrial Automation Products means robotic devices, computers, and control systems used in managing, monitoring and controlling equipment used in industrial processes.

License Grant

The Company hereby grants a nonsublicensable, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license and right to use the CPU, DLP, shelves and backplane technology of the Universal Modular Carrier 1000 (TM) ('UMC 1000') Products.

License Property

The UMC 1000 is a cost-effective, multi-service digital loop carrier system was designed and developed to enable small to mid-size telecommunications companies and other service providers to connect subscribers to the central office switch for voice and data communications.  

The UMC 1000 consists of a variety of multi-service access platforms with integrated optics and intelligent customer premises equipment.  The platform utilizes a hybrid asynchronous transfer mode/time division multiplexing (ATM/TDM) architecture which provides a variety of loop interfaces for narrowband analog and digital services including plain old telephone service (POTS), integrated services digital network (ISDN), 1.544/2.048 million bits per second point-to-point dedicated digital circuit (T-1/E-1), high bit rate digital subscriber line (HDSL/HDSL2), and asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) services.

This platform also enables the delivery of broadband digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies including discrete multitone (G.DMT), ADSL, G.Lite, HDSL, HDSL2, symmetrical digital subscriber line (SDSL), and very high data rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) (collectively referred to as 'xDSL') services to end users not served directly from a central office.  These services are supported over various feeder transmission technologies including copper, fiber, and wireless.  We also design and manufacture environmentally hardened outside plant cabinets and technology ranging from 48 to 2,000 lines, as well as indoor cabinets ranging from 48 to 480 lines.  We believe we were the first vendor to ship ADSL modules that integrate ADSL circuits, POTS circuits, and splitters onto a single ADSL x+y(TM) line card for environmentally hardened multi-service access systems.

Field of Use

The purpose of the license is for developing, having developed, manufacturing, having manufactured, maintaining, enhancing and modifying and distributing Coax RF Transceivers which plug into any current or future AFC shelf/assemblies. An EMS Interface based upon SNMP and/or Q3 for network management provided, however, that AFC shall be obligated to make the Hardware modifications to the DLP and CPU System Software changes to support Tellabs' requirements for the EMS Interface; RF Access Products that communicate with the RF Transceivers referenced above. Such RF Access Products will have a coax RF modem as the transceiver interface to the UMC 1000 Products.  The data interfaces on the RF Access Products cannot be used as a transceiver to any additional digital loop carrier equipment or any equipment used by the service provider to derive voice services; and Any mechanical products or designs outside of the UMC 1000 Product plug-in cards, shelf and/or backplane.  Such RF Access Products will have a coax RF modem as the transceiver interface to the UMC 1000 Products.
