End-Office Trunking Clause Samples
The End-Office Trunking clause defines the terms and conditions under which telecommunications traffic is routed directly to the end office switch of a local exchange carrier. This clause typically outlines the technical requirements, responsibilities for establishing and maintaining trunk connections, and any associated costs or capacity limitations. By specifying how calls are delivered to the end office, it ensures efficient call routing and helps prevent disputes over network access and usage, thereby supporting reliable interconnection between carriers.
End-Office Trunking. The Parties will work together to establish high usage end- office trunk groups sufficient to handle the greater of the actual or reasonably forecasted traffic volumes between a NEN end office and a GTE end office.
End-Office Trunking. When SPRINT elects to order additional trunks using standard industry engineering principles, based on forecasted or actual traffic at SPRINT's average busy season, and there is a DS1 worth of traffic (512 CCS) between SPRINT and a VERIZON end office, the ordered trunks will be direct trunks to VERIZON's end office. To the extent that SPRINT has established a Collocation arrangement at a VERIZON end office location, and has available capacity, the Parties agree that SPRINT shall provide two-way direct trunk facilities, when required, from that end office to SPRINT's switch.
End-Office Trunking. Upon mutual agreement, the Parties will work together to establish high usage end-office trunk groups sufficient to handle the greater of the actual or reasonably forecasted traffic volumes between a Charter end office and a CenturyTel end office.
End-Office Trunking. The Parties will work together to establish high usage end-office trunk groups sufficient to handle the greater of the actual or reasonably forecasted traffic volumes between a ACC end office and a CenturyTel end office. ACC will provide Percent Local Usage (PLU) factors on a quarterly basis to identify the proper jurisdiction (local or non-local) of each call type carried over the local interconnection trunks. If these percentages are not received quarterly, the Parties shall use the last previous reported percentages. The PLU factor is identified on Appendix C. Reciprocal traffic exchange arrangement trunk connections shall be made at a DS‑1 or multiple ▇▇-▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇-▇, (Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)) where technically available) and shall be jointly-engineered to an objective P.01grade of service. ACC and CenturyTel agree to use diligent efforts to develop and agree on a Joint Interconnection Grooming Plan prescribing standards to ensure that the reciprocal traffic exchange arrangement trunk groups are maintained at consistent P.01 or better grades of service. Such plan shall also include mutually agreed upon default standards for the configuration of all segregated trunk groups. SS7 Common Channel Signaling will be used to the extent that such technology is available. If SS7 is not available, Multi-Frequency Signaling (MF) will be used as specified. The Parties agree to offer and provide to each other B8ZS Extended Superframe Format (ESF) facilities, where available, capable of voice and data traffic transmission. The Parties will support intercompany 64kbps clear channel where available.
