Table A-1. Product Category Definitions Category Code Category: Definition: Examples: 1 Switching Equipment for the physical or virtual interconnection of communication channels in response to a signaling system. The switching category is broadly defined to include packet or circuit switched architectures. 1.1 Circuit Switch Equipment for the termination of subscriber lines and/or trunk lines and the dynamic interconnection of these ports or channels in a digital transmission facility. A circuit switch establishes a dedicated circuit, as opposed to a virtual circuit, in response to a signal. Stored Program Control (SPC) is the most common type of switching equipment used at end offices and tandem offices. These systems use either analog or digital switching. The switching system used must have the capability to send, receive and be actuated by signals, e.g., access line signals, or inter-office in-band or common-channel signaling. This category includes all circuit switches regardless of transmission medium, i.e., wireline, or wireless. End-office Tandem Tandem access Remote Service Switching Point [SSP] Mobile Switching Center [MSC] 1.2 Packet Switch Equipment for switching or routing data on virtual, as opposed to dedicated, circuits. The service is packet switched in that the customer’s data is transported as a sequence of data blocks (packets) that do not exceed a specified size. This packetization permits data from many data conversations to share a given transmission facility economically through statistical multiplexing. Such data conversations are known as virtual circuits, which are full duplex and connection-oriented. 1.2.1 Public Packet Switched Network (PPSN) Equipment for the provision of connection-oriented, packet-switched communication services designed to provide economical data transport based on internationally standardized packet protocols. The packet switch is the primary switching element of the network allowing efficient con
