Local loop[edit]

Is local loop defined as the point to which the signal goes digital or is it the entire line between the POTS telephone and the Central Office? (The A/D conversion takes place at the remote concentrator itself)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.56.213.67 (talkcontribs) 12:46, 20 January 2005

Serving area interface[edit]

It seems like a remote concentrator and a serving area interface are really the same thing. Is this correct? If so, that page should be merged to this article. If not, what is the difference? —radiojon 04:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the serving area interface is just a cross-connection point between the cables that come from the CO and the cables that go to the customers. It would not have any active electronic equipment in it, unlike a remote concentrator.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.110.139.3 (talkcontribs) 08:46, 18 September 2006
Right, whoever you are. SAI is a box that always has a cross connection point, and sometimes may have a RC. A post office may often have a scale for weighing mail, but a post office is not a scale or vice versa. —Jim.henderson 15:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

Does anyone want a picture of a remote in the former GTE South area, now owned by Verizon? I can take one.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.45.42 (talkcontribs) 00:59, 14 August 2006

Yes, a picture would be cool if you can swing it. 24.94.42.246 (talk) 22:43, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
