SIGNALING SYSTEMS AND DATABASES Clause Samples

SIGNALING SYSTEMS AND DATABASES. 52.1. Sprint will offer unbundled access to signaling links and signaling transfer points (STPs) in conjunction with unbundled switching, and on a stand-alone basis. The signaling network element includes, but is not limited to, signaling links which Sprint may offer in the form of either unbundled transport or signaling links, so long as the signaling links are intraLATA, Intrastate, and STP ports. Signaling links that require interLATA, Interstate transport will be obtained through an IXC. Sprint will offer unbundled access to call-related databases, including, but not limited to, the Line Information database (LIDB), Toll Free Calling database, Number Portability database, Calling Name (CNAM) database, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) databases, and the AIN platform and architecture. Sprint reserves the right to decline to offer unbundled access to certain AIN software that qualifies for proprietary treatment. The access to the above call related databases are not required if CLEC uses Sprint as the SS7 provider. If through interconnections CLEC has access to Sprint’s SS7 Network, they therefore have the ability to perform database queries. If the event arises and CLEC accesses these databases, Sprint has the right to bill for such services and CLEC agrees to pay for such database services. 52.2. Signaling Systems

SIGNALING SYSTEMS AND DATABASES. 51.1. Sprint will offer unbundled access to signaling links and signaling transfer points (STPs) in conjunction with unbundled switching, and on a stand-alone basis. The signaling network element includes, but is not limited to, signaling links and STPs. Sprint will offer unbundled access to call-related databases, including, but not limited to, the Line Information database (LIDB), Toll Free Calling database, Number Portability database, Calling Name (CNAM) database, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) databases, and the AIN platform and architecture. Sprint reserves the right to decline to offer unbundled access to certain AIN software that qualifies for proprietary treatment. The access to the above call related databases are not required based on this contract. If through 51.3.2.3.1. CLEC shall specify each point within the Client’s networks that may originate queries to Sprint’s LIDB. This shall be communicated to the Sprint network point of contact via the format in Appendix C.

SIGNALING SYSTEMS AND DATABASES. 49.1. Sprint will offer nondiscriminatory unbundled access to signaling links and signaling transfer points (STPs) in conjunction with unbundled switching, and on a stand-alone basis. The signaling network element includes, but is not limited to, signaling links and STPs. Sprint will offer unbundled access to call-related databases, including, but not limited to, the Line Information database (LIDB), Toll Free Calling database, Number Portability database, Calling Name (CNAM) database, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) databases, and the AIN platform and architecture. Sprint reserves the right to decline to offer unbundled access to certain AIN software that qualifies for proprietary treatment. 49.2. Signaling Systems 49.2.1. Signaling Link Transport 49.2.1.1. Signaling Link Transport is a set of two or four dedicated 56 Kbps transmission paths between CLEC-designated Signaling Points of Interconnection (SPOI) that provides appropriate physical diversity and a cross connect at a Sprint STP site.
