Common use of Traffic Capacity Clause in Contracts

Traffic Capacity. The traffic capacity of a sector, measured in Erlangs, is based upon the total traffic channels available in a sector. The total channels are calculated as follows: N = number of effective traffic channels available on a carrier at a particular loading (percentage of pole). This number excludes the channels required for overhead channels and hand-offs. C = number of carriers in a sector Total Channels = N x C The total channels are to be used in the appropriate Erlang table to determine the capacity of a sector. This capacity criterion shall apply to both calls in progress or call origination or termination.
