Common use of Shared Transport Clause in Contracts

Shared Transport. The physical interoffice facility not dedicated to any one Customer, which is used to transport a call between switching offices. A central office switch translates the End-User dialed digits and routes the call over a Common Transport Trunk Group that rides interoffice transmission facilities. These trunk groups and the associated interoffice transmission facilities are accessible by any End-User (VERIZON End-User or SPRINT End-User when SPRINT has purchased unbundled local switching), and are referred to as “shared transport facilities”. Signaling Point (SP) A node in the CCS network that originates and/or receives signaling messages, or transfers signaling messages from one signaling link to another, or both. Signaling System 7 (SS7) The signaling protocol, Version 7, of the CCS network, based upon American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards. Signal Transfer Point (STP) A packet switch in the CCS network that is used to route signaling messages among SSPs, SCPs and other STPs in order to set up calls and to query databases for advanced services. VERIZON's network includes mated pairs of local and regional STPs. STPs are provided in pairs for redundancy. VERIZON STPs conform to ANSI T1.111-8 standards. It provides SS7 Network Access and performs SS7 message routing and screening. Subsidiary A corporation or other legal entity that is majority owned by a Party.
