Sec. 54.313(aX6) Ability to Function in an Emergency Situation
Pursuant to S 54.313(a)(6)for High-cost Recipients, Carrier hereby certifies that it is able to function in
emergency situations as set forth in I 54.202(a)(2). Carrier is able to remain functional in an emergency
situation through the use of back-up power to ensure functionality without an external power source.
Carrier is able to provide service for a reasonable period of time if external power is lost.
All locations requiring commercial power are equipped with an 8 hour battery backup and/or emergency
generators. The connection to the fiber electronics in the homes and businesses is also designed for eight
(8) hour battery backup. All electronic cabinets and remote electronic sites are equipped with the
necessary wiring and power supplies (rectifiers) to sustain operation beyond the eight (8) hours of battery
backup with the use of portable or fixed generators.
Battery backup is tested yearly by a designated employee. The designated employee tests the batteries
and replaces batteries that do not meet Carrier's specifications (8 hour backup) and cleans & replaces all
necessary connections. All batteries are on a replacement rotation, so are replaced regardless of how
they test, to ensure backup is secure. Emergency generators are tested annually by an outside contractor.
Carrier's network is engineered to handle reasonable excess traffic in the event of traffic spikes resulting
from emergency situations. Carrier's fiber ring technology protects well from loss of toll trunking. Carrier
has redundancy in its network for use in re-rerouting traffic when facilities are damaged.
I verify that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on lune L0, 201-8.
