OOB network access
Management-plane connectivity across the SPNA site estate.
SPNA provides out-of-band access around the shared footprint so members can reach infrastructure, manage devices, and simplify remote operations where shared connectivity already exists.
Operational use
The service supports remote management, resilience planning, and day-to-day support operations for equipment deployed in SPNA-connected locations.
Underlying network
The OOB service is backhauled using the 1310 port of the passive DWDM muxes, so while it is diverse from Layer 2 and Layer 3 member wavelength paths, it still relies on the same underlying dark fibre infrastructure.
