Shared Transport definition

Shared Transport is defined as local interoffice transmission facilities shared by more than one Carrier, including Qwest, between End Office Switches, between End Office Switches and Tandem Switches (local and Access Tandem Switches), and between Tandem Switches within the Local Calling Area, as described more fully in the Agreement.
Shared Transport shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9.8.1.1.
Shared Transport or “Common Transport” is as defined in Attachment 2 of this Agreement. 103 “Signal Transfer Points” (“STPs”) are signaling message switches that interconnect Signaling Links to route signaling messages between switches and databases. STPs enable the exchange of Signaling System 7 (“SS7”) messages between switching elements, database elements and STPs. STPs provide access to various BellSouth and third party network elements such as local switching and databases. 104 “Signaling Links” are dedicated transmission paths carrying signaling messages between carrier switches and signaling networks. Signal Link Transport is a set of two or four dedicated 56 kbps transmission paths between OnePoint designated Signaling Points of Interconnection that provide a diverse transmission path and cross connect to a BellSouth Signal Transfer Point.

Examples of Shared Transport in a sentence

  • As part of the QLSP Service, Qwest will combine the Local Switching and Shared Transport Network Elements with the Loop.

  • QLSP Centrex Services include Centrex 21, Centrex Plus, and in Minnesota, Centron, and are the combination of an analog Line Side Port and Shared Transport provided under this Agreement with an analog - 2 wire voice grade Loop provided in accordance with CLEC’s ICAs, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

  • Shared Transport provides interoffice switching within the local calling area and is the collective interoffice transmission facilities shared by various carriers (including Qwest) between end-office Switches and between end-office Switches and local tandem Switches.

  • 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 (“EAS”) interoffice traffic on the Qwest interoffice message trunk network.


More Definitions of Shared Transport

Shared Transport shall have the meaning set forth in 47 C.F.R. § 51.319(d)(1)(ii).
Shared Transport means 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 XXX end user when XXX has purchased unbundled switching), and are referred to as "shared transport facilities."
Shared Transport is as defined in Attachment 3. “Signaling Transfer Point (“STP”)” are packet switches that provide CCs message routing and transport. They are stored programmed switches that use information contained in the message, in conjunction with information stored in memory, to route the message to the appropriate destination signaling point. “Signaling Links” are dedicated transmission paths carrying signaling messages between carrier switches and signaling networks.
Shared Transport is defined as local interoffice transmission facilities shared by more than one Carrier, including CenturyLink, between End
Shared Transport is an interoffice transmission path between two CBT switches. Shared Transport permits SBCT to access the interoffice network of CBT for the origination and completion of calls to and from unbundled local switch ports. Shared Transport will only be provided in conjunction with the purchase of unbundled switch ports. Where CBT Network Elements are connected by intra office wiring, such wiring is provided as a part of the Network Elements and is not Shared Transport. Shared Transport consists of CBT inter office transport facilities and is a distinct rate element but cannot be provisioned separate from local or tandem switching.
Shared Transport means 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 NEXTLINK end user when NEXTLINK has purchased unbundled switching), and are referred to as "shared transport facilities."
Shared Transport shall have the meaning set forth in 47 C.F.R. § 51.319(d)(1)(ii). “SIGNAL TRANSFER POINT” or “STP” shall have the meaning set forth in 47 C.F.R. 51.5. “SWITCH” means a Central Office Switch as defined in this Part B.
