That's a VRAD...The one on the far right looks like an RT...

In your first pic:

The corrugated-looking box on the right is an RT from the mid-80's or so. It contains technology that was on the bleeding edge... a billion years ago. It's fiber-fed, like other RTs. Not only does it serve POTS ("regular" phone) and T-1 type lines, it also can serve ISDN (woo!).

The box on the left is indeed a VRAD from the U-Verse era.

And in the middle, we have a cross-connect box. Looks to be the same vintage as the VRAD cabinet. It's needed so that any given copper line going to a home or business can be served by either the elderly gentleman on the right, or the spry young'un on the left.

FWIW that is a Lucent 80 series cabinet.

Not all Rts are fiber fed. Some are still being served by copper span lines.

it may not be a vrad, i had one of those pop up in my area and i talked to a local tech and he said it was just for expanding more phone lines in the area.

Just today I saw three of those here in Memphis.

I hope Uverse is deployed soon on the state.

Don't get your hopes up about when they'll start serving your area. They're popping them up all over my neighborhood and Ohio has a video bill and Toledo still has yet to see any of the VRads turned up. AT$T has yet to apply for video services for the county.

Things will be diffrent here in Tennessee. Instead of applying
for a franchise on each county, ATT will apply for a statewide
franchise.

Re: Vrad or not (Chattangooa Tn)

Like i said Ohio has one too. But you still have to go to the state for each area you want to be approved in. You just don't go tell them you want to service the state and do it where ever you want. They still have to know where you are going to offer services. So things are not different and won't be any different.
