High Volume Call In. (HVCI) / Mass Calling (Choke)
High Volume Call In. (HVCI)/Mass Calling (Choke) Trunk Group - AT&T-21STATE:
4.3.9.1 CLEC must establish a dedicated trunk group to the designated Public Response HVCI/Mass Calling Network Access Tandem in each Serving Area. This trunk group shall be one-way outgoing only and shall utilize MF signaling. As the HVCI/Mass Calling trunk group is designed to block all excessive attempts toward HVCI/Mass Calling NXXs, it is necessarily exempt from the one percent (1%) blocking standard described elsewhere in this Attachment. CLEC will have administrative control for the purpose of issuing ASRs on this one-way trunk group. The Parties will not exchange live traffic until successful testing is completed by both Parties.
4.3.9.1.1 Upon demonstration that the CLEC switch is unable to utilize MF signaling, the CLEC may utilize SS7 signaling for its HVCI/Mass Calling Trunk Group.
4.3.9.2 The HVCI trunk group shall be sized as follows: Number of Mass Calling Trunks Number of Access Lines Served 0 – 10,000 2 10,001 – 20,000 3 20,001 – 30,000 4 30,001 – 40,000 5 40,001 – 50,000 6 50,001 – 60,000 7 60,001 – 75,000 8 75,000 + 9 maximum
4.3.9.3 If CLEC should acquire a HVCI/Mass Calling customer, (e.g., a radio station) CLEC shall notify AT&T-21STATE at least sixty (60) days in advance of the need to establish a one-way outgoing SS7 or MF trunk group from the AT&T-21STATE HVCI/Mass Calling Serving Office to the CLEC End User’s serving office. CLEC will have administrative control for the purpose of issuing ASRs on this one-way trunk group.
4.3.9.4 If CLEC finds it necessary to issue a new choke telephone number to a new or existing HVCI/Mass Calling customer, CLEC may request a meeting to coordinate with AT&T-21STATE the assignment of the HVCI/Mass Calling telephone number from the existing choke NXX. In the event that the CLEC establishes a new choke NXX, CLEC must notify AT&T-21STATE a minimum of ninety (90) days prior to deployment of the new HVCI/Mass Calling NXX. AT&T- 21STATE will perform the necessary translations in its End Offices and Tandem(s) and issue ASRs to establish a one-way outgoing SS7 or MF trunk group from the AT&T-21STATE Public Response HVCI/Mass Calling Network Access Tandem to CLEC’s choke serving office.
