Points of Interconnection (POIs). A Point of Interconnection (POI) is a point in the network where the Parties deliver Local Traffic to each other, and also serves as a demarcation point between the facilities that each Party is responsible to provide. Requirements for a Local POI are set forth in Section 3.3.2 of this Article. In some cases, multiple POI(s) may be necessary to provide the best technical implementation of Interconnection requirements to each End Office within a CenturyLink company’s service area.
Points of Interconnection (POIs). 64.4.1 CLEC must establish a minimum of one POI on CenturyLink’s network within each LATA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. CLEC shall establish additional POIs under the following circumstances:
Points of Interconnection (POIs). A Point of Interconnection (POI) is a point in the TDS TELECOM network where the Parties deliver Interconnection traffic to each other, and also serves as a demarcation point between the facilities that each Party is responsible to provide. At least one POI must be established at or within the TDS TELECOM company’s serving area boundary where TDS TELECOM operates as an ILEC and LEVEL 3 has End Users in that same area. Parties will mutually agree upon POI(s). In some cases, multiple POI(s) will be necessary to balance the facilities investment and provide the best technical implementation of Interconnection requirements to each End Office within a TDS TELECOM company’s service area. Both Parties shall negotiate the architecture in each location that will seek to mutually minimize and equalize investment.
Points of Interconnection (POIs). A Point of Interconnection (POI) is a point in the network where the Parties deliver Interconnection traffic to each other, and also serves as a demarcation point between the facilities that each Party is responsible to provide. When direct interconnection is established, at least one POI must be established at or within the UNION company’s serving area boundary for each Union Host End Office (ALTNNHXADS0 and NWDRNHXADS0), at a location mutually agreeable by both Parties, where UNION operates as an ILEC and CLEC has End Users in that same area.
Points of Interconnection (POIs). In each LATA in which the Parties interconnect their networks, the Parties shall mutually designate a single location to serve as the POI for that LATA, at which location the Parties shall arrange to interconnect all Traffic Exchange Trunks and all Access Toll Connecting Trunks, pursuant to Agreement Sections 3.0 and 4.0, respectively, provided that: (i) each POI shall be located within CTCO’s contiguous serving area in each LATA, and (ii) each POI shall be a location suitable for the interconnection of high capacity transport facilities between the Parties’ networks. In each LATA in which more than one (1) Cingular switch will be interconnected to CTCO’s network, the Parties may, at Cingular’s sole option, designate two (2) POIs; provided that, all Traffic Exchange Trunks and Access Toll Connecting Trunks which connect to an individual Cingular switch shall be interconnected at the same POI. For each LATA in which they interconnect their networks, the Parties shall list in Exhibit A of the Agreement: (i) the address of the POI(s) in that LATA; and (ii) the Cingular switch(es) which will be interconnected via such POI(s) by trunk type. The Parties shall update Exhibit A as needed.
