Product Details
Sprint's Floor / Rack Space Lease service provides space within a Sprint central office, or other Sprint premises that house telecommunications facilities, through a contractual arrangement. The Floor / Rack Space Lease allows you to locate equipment in this space and interconnect with Sprint. Environmental support systems such as lighting, heating and air conditioning specific to the central office are included with the lease service.
Sprint offers three types of Floor / Rack Space Lease arrangements:
- Secured Floor Space Lease - This lease arrangement provides an enclosed space specifically allocated to a particular service provider. It may be an enclosed area or a portion of a larger fenced off area designated for leasing customers. Sprint requires that both the floor space and the secured enclosure be ordered.
- Unsecured Floor Space Lease - This lease arrangement provides floor space without a security enclosure. The leasing customer's equipment is housed in an area designated for them. There is a minimum space requirement of 10 feet.
- Unsecured Rack Space Lease - This lease arrangement provides a specified number of equipment racks.
Business Applications
- Sprint's Floor / Rack Space Lease is designed to meet your space requirements for equipment such as Point-of-Presence (POPs), routers or modem pools. A seamless network also becomes a reality as you connect other Sprint products and services directly to your equipment located in the same Sprint premises.
- Interexchange Carriers (IXCs) may establish POPs in Sprint's central office.
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may locate their routers and modem pools in Sprint's central office.
