Lead in solders for servers, storage and storage array systems, network infrastructure equipment for switching, signaling, transmission as well as network management for telecommunication. For the purpose of the RoHS Regulations, ‘network infrastructure equipment for telecommunication purposes’ is viewed by the Department as equipment meeting one of the two following criteria: Any system used for routing, switching, signalling, transmission, or network management or network security; or Any system which can simultaneously enable more than one end user terminating equipment to connect to a network. It is also any such system in a network, except for end user terminating equipment such as voice terminals and facsimile machines. This would include all servers, power suppliers, display devices and similar electronic units that are incorporated into network infrastructure equipment. It would also include all cables and cable assemblies, and all connectors and connector assemblies used to provide interconnections for network infrastructure equipment but is not intended to include desktop or notebook computers, telephones, fax machines or consumer – type modems or switches etc. ==== As a BTS is not end-user terminating and can simultaneously enable more than end user terminating equipment, I don't think the solder of a BTS ever needs to be Pb-free. -- - Harald Welte <hwelte(a)sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Schivelbeiner Str. 5 * 10439 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Directors: Holger Freyther, Harald Welte
