MAYA-i will employ an interconnected collapsed ring configuration that will contain two fiber pairs with five branching units connecting to the landing points. It will employ fiber optic technology operating at 2.5 Gigabits per second ("Gbps") per wavelength. A diagram showing the configuration of MAYA-i is depicted at Exhibit 1 to the C&MA (See Section 214 Application, Attachment A). Segment T comprises the land segment, including cable stations, and Segment S is the submarine section of the MAYA-i system. Segment T Segment T consists of the following Subsegments: Segment Ti comprises the land segment at Hollywood, Florida, United States, and is within the Commission's jurisdiction; Segment T2 comprises the land segment at Cancun, Mexico; Segment T3 comprises the land segment at Puerto Cortes, Honduras; Segment T4 comprises the land segment at Half Moon Bay, Cayman Islands; Segment T5 comprises the land segment at Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Segment T6 comprises the land segment at Colon, Panama; and Segment T7 comprises the land segment at Tolu, Colombia.3 Each Subsegment T shall consist of an appropriate share of the land and buildings at the cable landing location, the cable stations, and associated equipment provided between and including the cable network interfaces and all associated interconnection equipment at the relevant cable stations to operate solely with the network. Each Subsegment T is owned by a Terminal Party. AT&T, the owner of Segment Ti will grant to each of the other Parties to the C&MA an Indefeasible Right of Use ("IRU") interest in Segment Ti for the purpose of using MAYA-i and carrying on related activities at that location, All non-terminal parties will also be granted a Right to Use in Segments T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 arid T7 respectively for the purpose of using MAYA-i and carrying on related activities at those locations.
