Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 3.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, and subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish an End Point Fiber Meet arrangement, which may include a SONET backbone with an optical interface at the OC-n level in accordance with the terms of this Section. The Fiber Distribution Frame at the Reconex location shall be designated as the POI for both Parties.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 3.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, and subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish a Fiber Meet arrangement.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 4.4.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, and subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement which may include a SONET backbone with an electrical interface at the DS-3 level in accordance with the terms of this subsection 4.4. The fiber meet point shall be designated as the POI for both Parties. In the event the Parties agree to adopt a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement, each Party agrees to (a) bear all expenses associated with the purchase of equipment, materials, or services necessary to facilitate and maintain such arrangement on its side of the fiber hand-off to the other Party and (b) compensate the terminating Party for transport of traffic from the POI to the terminating Party’s IP at rates set forth in Exhibit A.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. In addition to the foregoing Methods of Interconnection, as described in Section 2 above, the Parties may mutually agree to establish alternative methods of interconnection.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 3.1 End Point Fiber Meet
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 4.3.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, the Parties may agree, at either Party’s request at any time, to establish (i) a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement in accordance with the terms of this subsection 4.3, or (ii) a SONET backbone with an electrical interface at the DS-3 level where and on the same terms BA offers such SONET services to other carriers. In the event the Parties agree to adopt a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement that utilizes both wireless and wireline facilities, GNAPS agrees to bear all expenses associated with the purchase of equipment, materials, or services necessary to facilitate and maintain such arrangement up to and including the optical to electrical multiplexer necessary to effect a fiber hand-off to BA.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 3.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, at GNAPs’ option, the Parties shall and subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish an End Point Fiber Meet arrangement, which shall may include a SONET backbone with an optical interface at the OC-n level in accordance with the terms of this Section. The Fiber Distribution Frame at the GNAPs location shall be designated as the POI for both Parties. GNAPs need not designate more than one POI per LATA. Each Party will be financially responsible for carrying traffic on their respective sides of such POI.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 4.5.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, and subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish a Mid- Span Fiber Meet arrangement in accordance with the terms of this subsection 4.5, including a SONET backbone with an electrical interface at the DS-3 level. Nothing herein shall preclude the parties from agreeing to interconnect at a higher speed. In the event the Parties agree to adopt a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement that utilizes both wireless and wireline facilities, each Party agrees to bear all expenses associated with the purchase of equipment, materials, or services necessary to facilitate and maintain such arrangement on its side of the fiber hand-off to the other Party.
Alternative Interconnection Arrangements. 4.5.1 In addition to the foregoing methods of Interconnection, and subject to mutual agreement of the Parties, the Parties may agree to establish a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement including a SONET backbone with an electrical interface at the DS-3 level in accordance with the terms of this subsection 4.5. In the event the Parties agree to adopt a Mid-Span Fiber Meet arrangement, each Party agrees to bear all expenses associated with the purchase of equipment, materials, or services necessary to facilitate and maintain such arrangement on its side of the fiber hand-off to the other Party.
