Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications distribution hub having a cabinet that defines a primary compartment. The cabinet also includes one or more main doors for accessing the primary compartment. Telecommunications equipment is mounted within the primary compartment. The distribution hub further includes a secondary compartment that can be accessed from an exterior of the cabinet without accessing the primary compartment. A grounding interface is accessible from within the secondary compartment.

Abstract: An inmate communication system and method of using are described herein for obtaining a lowest session rate. The inmate communication system includes a session boarder controller (SBC) server that analyses data from multiple carriers, historical sessions, and additional factors such as quality of service to determine a lowest rate for the session. The SBC server then routes the session using the carrier that has the determined lowest rate for the session. Further, the SBC server is configured to include both local and location redundancies to avoid interruptions in session service.

Abstract: Doping copper interconnects (100) with silicon (115) has been shown to improve Electromigration and Via Stress Migration reliability. After copper (118) is deposited by electrochemical deposition and chemically-mechanically polished back, doping is achieved by flowing SiH4 over the copper interconnect (100) for 0.5 to 5 seconds at a temperature of 325-425° C.
