- BC-1410.30.10Target Network ArchitectureDescribe the intended end-state network by layer and the principles every design must follow to reach it.
- BC-1410.30.20Access Technology SelectionChoose the access technology for each market and customer type — fiber, coax upgrade, fixed wireless or mobile radio — on cost, speed and time to serve.
- BC-1410.30.30Network Equipment StandardsPublish the approved equipment models, software baselines and configurations that designs and builds must use.
- BC-1410.30.40Technology Lab & Field TrialsCertify new equipment and software in a lab, then prove it on a small live footprint before wider deployment.
