channelized and sub-rate T3 are two different things.
channelized means that in the T3 are muxed up to 28 t1's so you
can connect to multiple remote locations using a single
interface, aka m13 mux functionality. subrate means that the t3
is circuit is provisioned point-to-point clear-channel, but is
not used at full bandwidth. Before PA-MC-2T3+ you needed two
different types of PA to do the two applications described
above. Now, you can do clear channel OR sub-rate OR channelized
T3 using the same hardware. The full functionality will be
released shortly with a software upgrade for the PA-MC-2T3+.
