Wireline Node Transport Facilities included in a Utility Permit must be shown to connect to one or more Network Nodes, whether located within the Department Rights-of-Way or not. Wireline Node Transport Facilities consist of the physical facilities extending from one or more Network Nodes to a splice enclosure or tap where the Node Transport Facilities connect to the higher-count cable of the transport network, which serves multiple facilities or provides services to multiple customers in addition to the owner, utility, or licensee of the Network Node or the Node Transport Facility made the basis of the Utility Permit.

The volume and height of any antenna used for broadband Node Transport Facilities are included within the maximum total antenna size permitted in these Design Standards.
