Spanish term or phrase: Sistema de telefonía de uso común final
I am translating a document from Colombian Spanish to English (US target audience) containing specifications for Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE) to be installed in several airports. The phrase appears in the following sentence:

"El sistema de telefonía de uso común final mostrará las siguientes capacidades habilitadas (vía CUTE) de señalización individuales"

What is the best way to render "Sistema de telefonía de uso común final" in US English?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Explanation:
If you've already used "common use" (as in "Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE)"), I wouldn't leave it out of your translation.
