Common use of Facilities and Trunking Clause in Contracts

Facilities and Trunking. 4.2.1 Where specified by the E911 Authority or PSAP, WSP shall provide or order from AT&T-21STATE transport and trunk termination to each AT&T-21STATE 911 SR that serves the areas in which WSP is licensed to and will provide CMRS service. 4.2.2 WSP shall be responsible for determining and maintaining facility transport capacity sufficient to route 911 traffic over trunks dedicated for 911 interconnection between the WSP’s MSC and the AT&T-21STATE SR. 4.2.3 WSP acknowledges that its End Users in a single local calling scope may be served by different SRs and WSP shall be responsible for providing facilities to route 911 calls from its End Users to the proper E911 SR. 4.2.4 WSP shall order a minimum of two (2) one-way outgoing trunk(s) dedicated for originating 911 Emergency Service calls from the WSP’s MSC to each AT&T-21STATE 911 SR, where applicable. Where SS7 connectivity is available and required by the applicable PSAP, the Parties agree to implement CCS/SS7 trunks rather than CAMA (MF) trunks. 4.2.5 WSP is responsible for appropriate diverse facilities if required by applicable State Commission rules and regulations or if required by other governmental, municipal, or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over 911 services. 4.2.6 WSP shall engineer its 911 trunks to maintain a minimum P.01 grade of service as specified by NENA standards. 4.2.7 In order to implement E911 Service, WSP or its agent is responsible for ordering the appropriate data circuit as specified by AT&T-21STATE technical reference located on the appropriate AT&T CLEC Online website, from WSP’s MSC to the appropriate AT&T-21STATE ALI server where AT&T-21STATE is the designated ALI Database Provider. Such data circuit may be ordered from AT&T-21STATE affiliate or vendor of WSP’s choice. 4.2.8 WSP shall monitor its 911 circuits for the purpose of determining originating network traffic volumes. If WSP's traffic study indicates that additional circuits are needed to meet the current level of 911 call volumes, WSP shall request additional circuits from AT&T-21STATE. 4.2.9 WSP will cooperate with AT&T-21STATE to promptly test all 911 trunks and facilities between WSP’s network and the AT&T-21STATE 911 Selective Router(s) to assure proper functioning of 911 service. WSP agrees that it will not pass live 911 traffic until both Parties complete successful testing. 4.2.10 WSP is responsible for the isolation, coordination and restoration of all 911 network maintenance problems to WSP’s facility point of interconnection (POI). WSP is responsible for advising AT&T-21STATE of the circuit identification and the fact that the circuit is a 911 circuit when notifying AT&T-21STATE of a failure or outage. The Parties agree to work cooperatively and expeditiously to resolve any 911 outage. AT&T- 21STATE will refer network trouble to WSP if no defect is found in AT&T-21STATE’s 911 network. The Parties agree that 911 network problem resolution will be managed expeditiously at all times.
