Direct Network Interconnection Architecture Clause Samples
The Direct Network Interconnection Architecture clause defines the requirements and standards for establishing a direct connection between two or more parties' networks. Typically, this clause outlines the technical protocols, security measures, and responsibilities for maintaining the interconnection, such as specifying interface types or data exchange formats. Its core function is to ensure seamless, secure, and efficient data transmission between networks, thereby reducing compatibility issues and enhancing operational reliability.
Direct Network Interconnection Architecture. In accordance with but only to the extent required by Applicable Law, the Parties shall provide interconnection of their networks at any technically feasible point and as specified in this Agreement. CD may interconnect with Spectra on its network at any of the minimum Currently Available points required by the FCC. Interconnection at additional points will be reviewed on an individual case basis. Spectra will work with CD in all circumstances to install Interconnection Points within 120 calendar days absent extenuating circumstances. Internetwork connection and protocol must be based on industry standards developed consistent with Section 256 of the Act.
4.1.1 The Parties will interconnect their networks for the transmission and routing of traffic, including exchange traffic and exchange access traffic, in accordance with 47 CFR §51.305 and other Applicable Law, at any technically feasible point. The Parties may use the following network facility interconnection, using such interface media as are (i) appropriate to support the type of interconnection requested and (ii) available at the facility at which interconnection is requested. The Parties may use any of the minimum points of technically feasible access identified in 47 CFR §51.305, and may utilize, without limitation, the following network facility interconnection.
(a) A Mid Span Fiber Meet within an existing Spectra exchange area whereby the Parties mutually agree to jointly plan and engineer their facility IP at a designated manhole or junction location. The IP is the demarcation between ownership of the fiber transmission facility. Each Party is individually responsible for its incurred costs in establishing this arrangement.
(b) A virtual or physical Collocation arrangement at a Spectra Wire Center subject to the rates, terms, and conditions contained in Spectra’s applicable tariffs.
(c) A special access arrangement terminating at a Spectra Wire Center subject to the rates, terms, and conditions contained in Spectra's applicable tariffs meeting the standards set forth in such tariffs.
(d) Existing facilities or the existing facilities of CD’s subsidiaries or affiliates, at the serving wire center locations where CD or its subsidiaries or affiliates have a facilities presence for switched and/or dedicated access traffic.
