Hi Charlie:
If the equipment will be used by a major US carrier in their own network, I think NEBS GR-1089 compliance is likely to be required by the carrier. As you probably know, the NEBS requirements are industry standards rather than regulatory requirements, so NEBS compliance is not required by law. However, most carriers place great importance on the reliability of the equipment used in their network, and compliance with the NEBS requirements gives them some assurance that the product will hold up well in the intended environment. For example, the lightning immunity requirements in GR-1089 are generally the most stringent lightning requirements worldwide. In the end, though, whether NEBS compliance is required, or what subset of the NEBS requirements will be required, gets down to a negotiation between the manufacturer and the carrier.

Does anyone have experience of whether the major US operators require full NEBS EMC compliance for outdoor, data equipment - or is it more of a "nice to have"?
