Single Point of Presence (SPOP)
• SPOP allows you to have one physical point of presence
per LATA to deliver the following traffic types to Qwest end
users on combined or separate trunk groups to Qwest
access tandem switches:
• Exchange Service (EAS/Local) traffic
• Exchange Access (intraLATA Toll Non-IXC)
• Jointly Provided Switched Access (InterLATA and IntraLATA
IXC) traffic
• SPOP is offered via an amendment if language is not
present within your existing Interconnection Agreement
(ICA).
