Common use of Tandem Transit Traffic Clause in Contracts

Tandem Transit Traffic. 12.1 As used in this Section, Tandem Transit Traffic is Telephone Exchange Service traffic that originates on ADSC's network, and is transported through Frontier’s Tandem to the subtending End Office or its equivalent of another carrier (CLEC, ILEC other than Frontier, Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) carrier, or other LEC (“Other Carrier”), when neither the originating nor terminating customer is a Customer of Frontier. For the avoidance of any doubt, under no circumstances shall Frontier be required to transit traffic through a Frontier Tandem to an End Office that does not have local interconnection facilities and direct trunks to that particular Frontier Tandem. Switched Exchange Access Service traffic is not Tandem Transit Traffic. 12.2 Tandem Transit Traffic Service provides ADSC with the transport of Tandem Transit Traffic as provided below. 12.3 Tandem Transit Traffic may be routed over the Interconnection Trunks described in Sections 2 through 6 of this Attachment. ADSC shall deliver each Tandem Transit Traffic call to Frontier’s Tandem with CCS and the appropriate Transactional Capabilities Application Part (“TCAP”) message to facilitate full interoperability of CLASS Features and billing functions.
