Points of Interconnection (POIs) Sample Clauses

The Points of Interconnection (POIs) clause defines the specific physical or logical locations where two parties’ networks or systems connect and exchange data or services. This clause typically outlines the technical requirements, responsibilities for maintaining the POIs, and procedures for establishing, modifying, or discontinuing these connection points. By clearly specifying where and how interconnection occurs, the clause ensures seamless interoperability between parties and helps prevent disputes or service interruptions related to network integration.
Points of Interconnection (POIs). A Point of Interconnection (POI) is a point in the network where the Parties deliver Local Traffic to each other, and also serves as a demarcation point between the facilities that each Party is responsible to provide. Requirements for a Local POI are set forth in Section 3.3.2 of this Article. In some cases, multiple POI(s) may be necessary to provide the best technical implementation of Interconnection requirements to each End Office within a CenturyLink company’s service area.
