Mid-Span Meet POI Sample Clauses
The Mid-Span Meet Point of Interconnection (POI) clause defines the specific location where two telecommunications networks physically connect, typically at a mutually agreed point between the parties’ facilities. In practice, this clause outlines the technical and logistical requirements for establishing the interconnection, such as the type of equipment used, the responsibilities for construction and maintenance, and the allocation of costs. Its core function is to ensure a clear, efficient, and equitable process for network interconnection, thereby facilitating seamless service delivery and minimizing disputes over network boundaries and responsibilities.
Mid-Span Meet POI. A Mid-Span Meet POI is a negotiated Point of Interface, limited to the Interconnection of facilities between one (1) Party's Switch and the other Party's Switch. The actual physical Point of Interface and facilities used will be subject to negotiations between the Parties. Each Party will be responsible for its portion of the build to the Mid-Span Meet POI. CLEC may not use remaining capability in an existing Mid-Span Meet POI to gain access to Unbundled Network Elements. These Mid-Span Meet POIs will consist of facilities used for the Provisioning of one-way or two-way local/IntraLATA and Jointly Provided Switched Access Interconnection trunks, as well as miscellaneous trunks such as Mass Calling Trunks, OS/DA, 911 and including any dedicated DS1, DS3 transport trunk groups used to provision originating CLEC traffic.
7.1.2.3.1 The Mid-Span Fiber Meet architecture requires each Party to own its equipment on its side of the Point of Interconnection (POI). CLECs may designate Mid-Span Fiber Meet as the target architecture, except in scenarios where it is not Technically Feasible or where the Parties disagree on midpoint location.
7.1.2.3.2 In a Mid-Span Fiber Meet the Parties agree to establish technical interface specifications for Fiber Meet arrangements that permit the successful Interconnection and completion of traffic routed over the facilities that interconnect at the Fiber Meet. CLEC is responsible for providing at its location the Fiber Optic Terminal (FOT) equipment, multiplexing, and fiber required to terminate the optical signal provided by Qwest. Qwest is responsible for providing corresponding FOT(s), multiplexing, and fiber required to terminate the optical signal provided by CLEC.
7.1.2.3.3 The Parties shall, wholly at their own expense, procure, install, and maintain the FOT(s) in each of their locations where the Parties establish a Fiber Meet with capacity sufficient to provision and maintain all trunk groups. The Parties shall mutually agree on the capacity of the FOT(s) to be utilized based on equivalent DS1s and DS3s necessary for transport of forecasted local Interconnection trunking. Each Party will also agree upon the optical frequency and wavelength necessary to implement the Interconnection.
Mid-Span Meet POI. 6.2.1 A Mid-Span Meet POI is a negotiated point of interface, limited to the interconnection of facilities between one Party’s switch and the other Party’s switch. The actual physical Point of Interface and facilities used will be subject to negotiations between the Parties. Each Party will be responsible for its portion of the build to the Mid-Span Meet POI, if the meet point arrangement is used exclusively for the exchange of local traffic.
6.2.2 If the Mid-Span Meet arrangement is to be used for access to unbundled Network Elements, NAS must pay the portion of the economic costs of the Mid-Span Meet arrangement used by NAS for access to unbundled Network Elements.
Mid-Span Meet POI. A Mid-Span Meet POI is a negotiated Point of Interface, limited to the Interconnection of facilities between the CenturyLink Serving Wire Center location and the location of the WSP switch or other equipment located within the area served by the CenturyLink Serving Wire Center. The Parties will use the existing facilities in place between WSP affiliated ILEC and CenturyLink, establishing a Mid-Span Meet POI within franchised service territory over which WSP will establish its WIS trunking. For any additional Mid-Span Meet POIs that WSP may request, the actual physical Point of Interface and facilities used will be subject to negotiations between the Parties. Each Party will be responsible for its portion of the build to the Mid-Span Meet POI. Any ILEC meet point established to a CenturyLink Remote Switch cannot be used to establish a Wireless Mid-Span Meet POI. The Mid-Span Meet POI will be used exclusively as an Interconnection facility and cannot be used for other purposes such as Unbundled Network Elements or Access Services.
Mid-Span Meet POI. 12.2.1 A Mid-Span Meet POI is a negotiated point of connection limited to the interconnection of facilities between the Parties’ switches. Mid-Span Meet POI may be accomplished by the Parties through negotiation of the actual physical point of connection and facilities to be used. Each Party will be responsible for its portion of the construction of the facilities to the Mid-Span Meet POI.
12.2.2 If the Mid-Span Meet arrangement is to be used for access to unbundled network elements, Qwest must pay the portion of the economic costs of the Mid-Span meet arrangements used by Qwest for access to unbundled network elements.
Mid-Span Meet POI. 1. 1. A Mid-Span Meet POI is a negotiated Pointpoint of Interfaceinterface, requiring new construction by Qwest, and is limited to the Interconnectioninterconnection of facilities between one Party’s Switchswitch and the other Party’s Switch. The actual physical Point of Interface and facilities used will be subject to negotiations between the Partiesswitch. Each Party will be responsible for its portion of the build to the Mid-Span Meet POI. These Mid Span Meet POIsPOI’s will consist of facilities used for the Provisioningprovisioning of one or two way Type 1 and Type 2 and Jointly Provided Switched Access Interconnectionjointly provided switched access trunks, as well as Ancillaryancillary trunks such as, OS, DA, and 911 trunk groups.
