Examples of Tandem Switching in a sentence

  • BellSouth shall apply the melded Tandem Switching rate for every call in these scenarios.

  • BellSouth shall utilize the melded Tandem Switching Rate until BellSouth has the capability to measure actual Tandem Switch usage in each call scenario specifically mentioned above, at which point the rate for the actual Tandem Switch usage shall apply.

  • Because switch recordings cannot accurately indicate on a per call basis when the Tandem Switching Network Element has been utilized for an interoffice call originating from a UNE port and terminating to a BellSouth, Independent Company or Facility-Based CLEC office, BellSouth has developed, based upon call studies, a melded rate that takes into account the average percentage of calls that utilize Tandem Switching in these scenarios.

  • Tandem Switching is the function that establishes a communications path between two switching offices through a third switching office (the Tandem switch).

  • The UNE Call Flows set forth on BellSouth's website, as amended from time to time and incorporated herein by this reference, illustrate when the full or melded Tandem Switching rates apply for specific scenarios.

Tandem Switching. The Tandem Switching Network Element provides the switching function needed to establish a temporary transmission path between two other switching offices. It includes the facilities connecting the trunk distribution frames to the tandem switch, and all the functions of the tandem switch itself, including those facilities that establish a temporary transmission path between two other switches. It also includes functions that are centralized in the tandem, such as any call recording which is or becomes available in the tandem switch, and, in certain cases, routing of calls to tandem signaling conversion functions (e.g., MF to SS7) used in the XXXX ATLANTIC network. Tandem switch call recording functions and capabilities are different from end office switch call recording functions and capabilities. XXXX ATLANTIC will implement, where it is technically feasible to do so and where facilities exist that dialing plan and any associated dedicated trunking needed to support the introduction of customized routing on that Tandem Switching Network Element.
Tandem Switching has the meaning set forth in Section 12.1 of Attachment 2 of the Agreement.
