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.
