Network Interconnection Architecture Plan Clause Samples

Network Interconnection Architecture Plan. 3.2.1 AT&T-21STATE’s network is partly comprised of End Office Switches, Local Only Tandem Switches (AT&T- 10STATE), Local/IntraLATA Tandem Switches, Local/Access Tandem Switches and Access Tandem Switches. AT&T-21STATE’s network architecture in any given local Exchange Area and/or LATA can vary markedly from another local Exchange Area/LATA. Using one or more of the NIMs herein, the Parties will agree to a physical architecture plan for a specific Interconnection area. A physical architecture plan will, at a minimum, include the location of CLEC’s switch(es) and AT&T-21STATE’s End Office Switch(es) and/or Tandem Switch(es) to be interconnected, the facilities that will connect the two (2) networks and which Party will provide (be financially responsible for) the Interconnection facilities. At the time of implementation in a given local Exchange Area or LATA the plan will be documented and signed by appropriate representatives of the Parties, indicating their mutual agreement to the physical architecture plan. 3.2.2 The Parties may utilize any method of Interconnection described in this Attachment. Unless otherwise specified in this Attachment, each Party is financially responsible for the provisioning of facilities on its side of the negotiated POI(s). Each Party is responsible for the appropriate sizing, operation and maintenance of the transport facility to its side of the POI(s). The Parties agree to provide sufficient facilities for the trunk groups required in Section 4.0 below for the exchange of traffic between CLEC and AT&T-21STATE. 3.2.2.1 For each NXX code used by either Party, the Party that owns the NXX (or pooled code block) must maintain network facilities (whether owned or leased) used to actively provide, in part, local Telecommunications Service in the geographic area assigned to such NXX code. If either Party uses its NXX Code to provide Foreign Exchange (FX) service to its customers outside of the geographic area assigned to such code, that Party shall be solely responsible to transport traffic between its Foreign Exchange service customers and such code’s geographic area.

Network Interconnection Architecture Plan. 2.1 AT&T-13STATE’s network is partly comprised of End Office switches, Local Only Tandem Switches (AT&T SOUTHWEST REGION 5-STATE and AT&T MIDWEST REGION 5-STATE), Local/IntraLATA Tandem Switches, Local/Access Tandem Switches, and Access Tandem Switches. AT&T-13STATE’s network architecture in any given local exchange area and/or LATA can vary markedly from another local exchange area/LATA. Using one or more of the NIMs herein, the Parties will agree to a physical architecture plan for a specific Interconnection area. A physical architecture plan will, at a minimum, include the location of CLEC’s switch(es) and AT&T-13STATE’s End Office switch(es) and/or Tandem switch(es) to be interconnected, the facilities that will connect the two networks and which Party will provide (be financially responsible for) the interconnection facilities. At the time of implementation in a given local exchange area or LATA the plan will be documented and signed by appropriate representatives of the Parties, indicating their mutual agreement to the physical architecture plan.

Related to Network Interconnection Architecture Plan

  • Network Interconnection Methods 3.1 The Interconnection provided herein may not be used solely for the purpose of originating a Party’s own interexchange traffic.

  • Interconnection Service Interconnection Service allows the Interconnection Customer to connect the Large Generating Facility to the Participating TO’s Transmission System and be eligible to deliver the Large Generating Facility’s output using the available capacity of the CAISO Controlled Grid. To the extent the Interconnection Customer wants to receive Interconnection Service, the Participating TO shall construct facilities identified in Appendices A and C that the Participating TO is responsible to construct.

  • One-Way Interconnection Trunks 2.3.1 Where the Parties use One-Way Interconnection Trunks for the delivery of traffic from Onvoy to Frontier, Onvoy, at ▇▇▇▇▇’s own expense, shall: 2.3.1.1 provide its own facilities for delivery of the traffic to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA; and/or 2.3.1.2 obtain transport for delivery of the traffic to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA (a) from a third party, or, (b) if Frontier offers such transport pursuant to a Frontier access Tariff, from Frontier. 2.3.2 For each Tandem or End Office One-Way Interconnection Trunk group for delivery of traffic from Onvoy to Frontier with a utilization level of less than sixty percent (60%) for final trunk groups and eighty-five percent (85%) for high usage trunk groups, unless the Parties agree otherwise, Onvoy will promptly submit ASRs to disconnect a sufficient number of Interconnection Trunks to attain a utilization level of approximately sixty percent (60%) for all final trunk groups and eighty-five percent (85%) for all high usage trunk groups. In the event Onvoy fails to submit an ASR to disconnect One-Way Interconnection Trunks as required by this Section, Frontier may disconnect the excess Interconnection Trunks or bill (and Onvoy shall pay) for the excess Interconnection Trunks at the rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment. 2.3.3 Where the Parties use One-Way Interconnection Trunks for the delivery of traffic from Frontier to Onvoy, Frontier, at Frontier’s own expense, shall provide its own facilities for delivery of the traffic to the technically feasible Point(s) of Interconnection on Frontier’s network in a LATA.

  • Interconnection 2.1 This section applies to linking with suppliers providing public telecommunications transport networks or services in order to allow the users of one supplier to communicate with users of another supplier and to access services provided by another supplier, where specific commitments are undertaken.
