Line 610 Functionality in Emergenry Situations Description
Oregon-ldaho Utilities, lnc. has engineered our communications network to remain functional ln
emergency situations as required by applicable state and federal regulations. Main Central office sites
have emergency power Benerators that run automati,cally in the event of a commercial power loss. tn
addition, these sites have battery backup which wlll allow them to remain functional in the event of a
loss of generator power. Second tier remote switch sltes and remote concentrator sites have battery
backup to continue operation in the event of a commercial power loss and the company has an
inventory of portable generators which can be manually deployed to remain operationalduring
extended commercial power loss events. Our class 5 switch and second tier remote sites have
emergency stand alone capabilities to continue operation during an isolation event. All main switch,
second tier remote switch, and remote concentffitor sites have redundant transport paths allowing
them to re-route traffic in the event of an emergency.
All switching, concentrator and transport equipment have redundant critical systems to continue
operation during an internal card failure. We maintain a Rural Utilities Service recommended standard
set of spare cards and parts in house for all mission critical systems. Routine maintenance is conducted
on all mission critical systems. OIU also has an automated alarm monitor rystem in place that alerts
company personnel of system malfunctions 24 hours a day,7 days per week, 355 days per year. Our
network was engineered to exceed generally accepted traffic handling standards within the industry to
assure continued operation during traffic spikes and during busy hour and busy day events.
