Would the mapping between old and new networks really be that direct or would there be a need to rearrange the copper network?
Most cabinets should be able to accommodate them but no doubt there will be many that need replacing.

The £5500(approx) is for: Shelf, 4 Line cards, COGE3 Card, lomi8 card, fans and cabling. This is for a straight swap of existing shelf. Then the STM1 Transmission shelf will then be replaced with ECI Broadgate in the cabinet and headend so another £3-4000,(approx). The you need extra pair of fibres for the comm's to the MSAN shelf again massive cost and waste of fibre in my opinion. This is a very basic costing as around the country there are different vendors in use, Nortel,Nokia,Marconi ect all with there differing requirements.

The cabling from Line cards to E sides again brings many problems and solutions have been tried but you can't beat ripping out the existing interface cabling and replacing with new from Line card to E side but again this is a massive cost in labour for contractors
