Mobile Switching Center or WSP POP Entrance Facility Type 2 Facility A Wireless Service Provider (WSP) establishes an entrance into a Qwest End Office which then becomes its Serving Wire Center (SWC). From that SWC, a Type 2 Interconnection Facility is extended to the Local Tandem which allows access to all customers being served by all End Offices subtending the Local Tandem within the Local Calling Area via Qwest’s IOF trunking (aka common trunks, or behind the tandem trunks). In addition, a Type 2 Interconnection Facility is extended to the Access/Toll Tandem which allows for completion of toll calls (1+ calls) over the toll trunking network. With Type 2 Interconnection, the WSP obtains an NXX, or a portion of an NXX as needed, that is assigned to the MSC, and that is independent of Qwest’s Network. An MSC functions as a Class 5 End office on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and is listed in the LERG.
