INTERSYSTEM HANDOVER ATTACHMENT TO INTERCARRIER ROAMER AND LOCAL
WHOLESALE SERIVCE AGREEMENT
This Inter-System Handover Attachment, including any appendices (the “Attachment”) is by and between Rural Cellular Corporation (“Rural”) having an office at 0000 Xxxxxx Xx XX, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and Cingular Wireless LLC, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (“Cingular”), having an office at Glenridge Highlands Two, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (hereafter collectively called “Cingular ”).
WHEREAS, CARRIER and Cingular have entered into an MULTISTANDARD ROAMER SERVICE AGREEMENT as of June 6, 2003 (hereinafter “Roaming Agreement”) which sets forth the obligations of each carrier for handling roaming traffic of the other carrier; and
WHEREAS, CARRIER and Cingular wish to establish a more detailed agreement regarding the handover of GSM traffic between their respective networks;
NOW THEREFORE, CARRIER and Cingular agree as follows:
1. | Attachment | |||
This Attachment shall be appended to the Roaming Agreement as is fully set forth therein and all terms and conditions of the Roaming Agreement shall apply to this Attachment, including but not limited to the Term set forth in Section 2. | ||||
2. | Definitions. | |||
In addition to the Definitions contained in the Roaming Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: |
A. | Inter-System Handover: the process of transferring a GSM call from one switch to another without service interruption. This definition includes handovers from 1900 MHz to 000 XXx, 000 XXx to 1900 MHz, 1900 MHz to 1900 MHz, or 850 MHz to 850 Mz systems. Handover functionality requires interconnecting circuits between the switches and database updates associated with Border Cell Site configurations. | |||
B. | Drive Test: the process by which a carrier’s representative analyzes how the Inter-System Handover functionality is working by physically moving through the area to be covered by that agreement and sampling the technical interface by causing the systems to handover multiple times and verifying such according to the agreed-upon test parameters. | |||
C. | Border Cell Sites: a collection of cell sites physically located along the edges of each carrier’s serving area that are involved in the Handover process. As a caller moves outside the range of one MSC, the call must be handed off to another MSC. Border Cell Sites will act as the interface point to facilitate handover between different switches. |
**Information omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for Confidential Treatment. |
13
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED | Exhibit 10.12 (b) Redacted |
D. | Affiliate: any entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with another entity. A Party’s Affiliates also include any entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, any other Affiliate of that Party. **. |
3. | Initial Requests | |||
Either party may request GSM Inter-system Handover capability from the other party in areas served by Border Cell Sites. Requests must be made in writing and submitted to the designated contact for the party. The Party receiving the request shall have up to ** to approve or disapprove the request. Upon approval of the Party receiving the request, the request will then be coordinated and implemented by the respective local market network personnel. | ||||
4. | Operational Requirements |
A. | Implementation | |||
Inter-System Handover implementations will be monitored by the Operations Council as established in Section 4.g of the Roaming Agreement. Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement Inter-System Handover capability within ** of the approval of a request. Requests should be submitted with enough advance notice to ensure adequate time to install, integrate and test Inter-System Handover functionality. All information will be kept private and confidential in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of the Roaming Agreement. | ||||
B. | Interconnect Costs | |||
**. | ||||
C. | Integration | |||
Both parties will work together to develop a reasonable implementation schedule and test plan for Inter-System Handovers. | ||||
D. | Testing | |||
Both parties will mutually agree upon the Drive Test routes to measure and ensure that the performance metrics are met. Drive test routes shall be developed to ensure that all major roadways in the coverage area will be measured, as practically as possible, while representing the mobility patterns of typical subscribers at the time of the data collection. Data samples collected during the Drive Test shall be evenly distributed along the Drive Test route to avoid over-collection of samples in any one specific area to the extent of practicability. Each party will work together to verify handover functionality and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve problems in a timely manner. | ||||

The party receiving the handover will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain trunk group availability at ** %. | ||||
The Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to add necessary trunk group capacity as needed to support traffic growth. | ||||
B. | Network Modifications | |||
Each party agrees to notify the other party ** in advance of all new Border Cell Site Additions and provide the appropriate information to ensure new sites will handover properly. | ||||
Each party agrees to notify the other party thirty (30) days in advance of all Border Cell Site modifications that may affect Inter-System Handovers. These include, but are not limited to, changes of antenna type, ERP, antenna height and frequency re-tunes. | ||||
C. | Sharing of Information | |||
Each party agrees to meet regularly to discuss network performance and operational issues. These meetings will be scheduled at the discretion of the local market network teams. The local market teams will share and maintain contact information and escalation procedures for problem resolution. Any issues that are not resolved at the local market level will be escalated to the Operations Council for resolution. | ||||
D. | Trouble Reporting | |||
Each party will directly notify the other party of system performance issues. Each party agrees to respond with commercially reasonable efforts upon notification of problems affecting this service. Notification shall be sent in accordance with the procedures to be established by the Operations Council. |
6. | Dispute Resolution Process | |||
Disputes arising under this Attachment shall be handled in accordance with Section 4.g.2 of the Roaming Agreement. A party may not terminate the Roaming Agreement or this Attachment for a violation of a term contained in this Attachment until the parties have first brought the matter to the attention of the Operations Council and exhausted the dispute resolution process. | ||||
7. | Entire Agreement | |||
This Attachment may not be modified or otherwise amended except by a written consent of both parties signed by an authorized representative of each party. No course of dealing or failure of either party to strictly enforce any term, right or condition of this Attachment shall be construed as a general waiver or relinquishment of such term, right or condition. A waiver by either party of any default shall not be deemed a wavier of any other default. |

Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be unreasonable. If the Attachment or any amendment hereto, or any portion thereof cannot be reasonably saved by rendering the contested provision(s) or portions thereof ineffective, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and to agree upon a cure to the problem if reasonably possible. | ||||
9. | Ratification | |||
All other terms and conditions of the Roaming Agreement continue to govern the general roaming relationship of the parties and Inter-System Handover to the extent not set forth above. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, additional definitions, default, dispute resolution, confidentiality, and rates. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of that Roaming Agreement and this Attachment, this Attachment shall control. |
