What Does Unbundled Network Elements-Platform Mean?
An unbundled network elements-platform (UNE-P) is a combination of unbundled network elements (UNEs) allowing end-to-end service delivery without any facilities. A UNE-P is made up of individual parts of an applicable network infrastructure, although it still requires facilities-based certification from the public utilities commission (PUC), despite not involving any competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC).
