Switching Center Trunking Clause Samples

Switching Center Trunking. The Parties agree to establish trunk groups of sufficient capacity from the interconnecting facilities such that trunking is available to any switching center designated by either Party, including end offices, tandems, 911 routing switches, and directory assistance/operator service switches. The Parties will mutually agree where one-way or two-way trunking will be available. The Parties may use two-way trunks for delivery of Local Traffic or either Party may elect to provision its own one-way trunks for delivery of Local Traffic to the other Party. If a Party elects to provision its own one-way trunks, that Party will be responsible for its own expenses associated with the trunks. SPRINT and VERIZON shall, where applicable, make reciprocally available, by mutual agreement, the required trunk groups to handle different traffic types. SPRINT and VERIZON will support the provisioning of trunk groups that carry combined or separate Local Traffic, intraLATA toll and optional EAS traffic. Sprint will establish separate trunk groups, to the extent Sprint subtends a VERIZON access tandem, for the routing of exchange access traffic used to provide Switched Access Service to IXCs. To the extent SPRINT desires to have any IXCs originate or terminate switched access traffic to or from SPRINT, using jointly provided switched access facilities routed through a VERIZON access tandem, it is the responsibility of SPRINT to arrange for such IXC to issue an Access Service Request (“ASR”) to VERIZON to direct VERIZON to route the traffic. If VERIZON does not receive an ASR from the IXC, VERIZON will initially route the switched access traffic between the IXC and SPRINT. If the IXC subsequently indicates that it does not want the traffic routed to or from SPRINT, VERIZON will not route the traffic. 2.4.1.1 Notwithstanding Section 2.1 of this Attachment, each Party agrees to initially route traffic only over the proper jurisdictional trunk group, as follows: a) originating traffic destined for the Sprint Operator Services platform (e.g., 00-. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or other Sprint routed CIC plus “0” to reach the Sprint operator) will be routed to Sprint over new or existing Sprint access trunks, as leased from VERIZON by Sprint pursuant to the terms of VERIZON access tariff(s). b) VERIZON originated traffic destined to a Sprint Customer (e.g., 7 or 10 digit dialed) will be routed to Sprint over local interconnection trunks. c) Sprint originated traffic destined to a VERIZON Customer (e.g., 7...
