Shared Transport. The Shared Transport Network Element (“Shared Transport”) provides the collective interoffice transmission facilities shared by various Carriers (including Qwest) between end-office switches and between end-office switches and local tandem switches within the Local Calling Area. Shared Transport uses the existing routing tables resident in Qwest switches to carry the End User Customer’s originating and terminating local/extended area service interoffice Local traffic on the Qwest interoffice message trunk network. CLEC traffic will be carried on the same transmission facilities between end- office switches, between end-office switches and tandem switches and between tandem switches on the same network facilities that Qwest uses for its own traffic. Shared Transport does not include use of tandem switches or transport between tandem switches and end-office switches for Local Calls that originate from end users served by non- Qwest Telecommunications Carriers (“Carrier(s)”) which terminate to QLSP End Users.
Shared Transport. 48.1. Sprint will offer access to shared transport in conjunction with unbundled local switching only where the Commission or FCC determines that unbundled local circuit switching is required to be provided. Shared transport is defined as transmission facilities shared by more than one carrier, including Sprint, between end office switches, between end office switches and tandem switches, and between tandem switches in the Sprint network.
Shared Transport. The physical interoffice facility not dedicated to any one customer, that is used to transport a call between switching offices. A central office switch translates the end user dialed digits and routes the call over a Common Transport Trunk Group that rides interoffice transmission facilities. These trunk groups and the associated interoffice transmission facilities are accessible by any end user (GTE end user or NEN end user when NEN has purchased unbundled local switching), and are referred to as “shared transport facilities”.

Shared Transport. The Shared Transport Network Element (“Shared Transport”) provides the collective interoffice transmission facilities shared by various Carriers (including CenturyLink) between end-office switches and between end-office switches and local tandem switches within the Local Calling Area. Shared Transport uses the existing routing tables resident in CenturyLink switches to carry the End User Customer’s originating and terminating local/extended area service interoffice Local traffic on the CenturyLink interoffice message trunk network. CLEC traffic will be carried on the same transmission facilities between end-office switches, between end-office switches and tandem switches and between tandem switches on the same network facilities that CenturyLink uses for its own traffic. Shared Transport does not include use of tandem switches or transport between tandem switches and end-office switches for Local Calls that originate from end users served by non-CenturyLink Telecommunications Carriers (“Carrier(s)”) which terminate to CLSP End Users.
Shared Transport. The physical interoffice facility not dedicated to any one Customer, which is used to transport a call between switching offices. A central office switch translates the End-User dialed digits and routes the call over a Common Transport Trunk Group that rides interoffice transmission facilities. These trunk groups and the associated interoffice transmission facilities are accessible by any End-User (VERIZON End-User or SPRINT End-User when SPRINT has purchased unbundled local switching), and are referred to as “shared transport facilities”. Signaling Point (SP) A node in the CCS network that originates and/or receives signaling messages, or transfers signaling messages from one signaling link to another, or both. Signaling System 7 (SS7) The signaling protocol, Version 7, of the CCS network, based upon American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards. Signal Transfer Point (STP) A packet switch in the CCS network that is used to route signaling messages among SSPs, SCPs and other STPs in order to set up calls and to query databases for advanced services. VERIZON's network includes mated pairs of local and regional STPs. STPs are provided in pairs for redundancy. VERIZON STPs conform to ANSI T1.111-8 standards. It provides SS7 Network Access and performs SS7 message routing and screening. Subsidiary A corporation or other legal entity that is majority owned by a Party.
Shared Transport. Shared Transport (also known as Common Transport) is the physical interoffice facility medium that is used to transport a call between switching offices. A central office switch translates the end-user dialed digits and routes the call over a Shared Transport Trunk Group that rides interoffice transmission facilities. These trunk groups and the associated interoffice transmission facilities are accessible by any end-user (GTE end-user or CLEC end-user when CLEC has purchased unbundled local switching), and are referred to as “Shared Transport Facilities”. GTE will provide Shared Transport for a call originating from an unbundled switch port to the point where the call leaves GTE’s network IP.

Shared Transport. 1.5.1 Qwest shall provide the Shared Transport Network Element as part of the QPP™ service. Transport beyond Qwest's local interoffice network will be carried on Qwest's IntraLATA Toll network and provided by Qwest to CLEC only if CLEC chooses Qwest to provide IntraLATA Toll services for its QPP™ End User Customers. The existing routing tables resident in the Switch will direct both Qwest and CLEC traffic over Qwest's interoffice message trunk network.
Shared Transport. The Shared Transport UNE is defined as interoffice transmission facilities shared by more than one carrier, including VERIZON, between Central Office Switches, between Central Office Switches and tandem switches, and between tandem switches, in VERIZON’s network. Shared transport (also known as common transport) provides the shared use of interoffice trunk groups and tandem switching that are used to transport switched traffic, originating or terminating on a VERIZON port, between Central Office Switching entities. Shared transport will include tandem switching if VERIZON’s standard network configuration includes tandem routing for traffic between these points. Shared transport is provided automatically in conjunction with port and local circuit switching. VERIZON reserves the right not to provide circuit switching and shared transport as an UNE under the circumstances described in Rule 51.319(c)(2).
