Unbundled bitstream access service

The unbundled bitstream access (UBA) service enables telecommunications retailers to access Chorus’ copper telephone lines, electronic equipment and software, to provide fixed-line broadband services to customers throughout New Zealand.

UBA has two main components:

  • The unbundled copper local loop (UCLL) component represents the network infrastructure used to connect consumers’ homes and workplaces to Chorus’ local telephone exchange buildings.
  • The UBA additional costs component (also known as the “UBA increment”) represents the electronic equipment, software, and other additional infrastructure required to provide the UBA service over Chorus’ UCLL network.
