	Tier 1 carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many networks incorrectly claim to be a Tier 1 simply due to ignorance of the term, leading to a corruption of meaning in which the vast majority of those claiming to be a Tier 1 network are not.
		The issue is further complicated by the non-disclosure agreements which surround almost all Tier 1 level peering; this makes it difficult for carriers to officially confirm or deny the existence of peering, the physical connection of two backbone networks to allow data to flow between them.
		Tier 1 networks are often noted for their extremely restrictive peering policies, which are generally regarded as being intended to set the bar for peering so high that no new networks can meet them.

		A Tier 1 carrier is a telco or ISP that is at the top of the telecommunications peering and settlements food chain.

	What is an Internet Telephony Exchange Carrier?
		A Tier 1 IP telephony exchange carrier adds the most value to a network by providing a global IP footprint, redundancy and therefore a consistent quality of service.
		It then charges the customers, who are resellers or carriers, a wholesale price for the calls and pays the terminating gateway operators for every minute terminated on their gateway while controlling the quality all the time.
		The technician in the Tier 1 carrier’s NOC should see this and reroute the calls to a different terminator in Moscow or to PSTN until the congestion subsides.

	New Regional Players Jump into Wireless - 11/15/2005 - Wireless Week - CA6283670 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It may seem odd that in 2005, new regional wireless carriers are still popping up in a sector that some may consider saturated, but in reality, regional carriers can serve a valuable purpose, not only for an underserved market segment, but for national carriers as well.
		One of the big focuses of consolidating Tier 1 companies is converging their networks, so they may not be as focused on rural markets and may turn to roaming partners to fill the gaps, he says.
		Long-term, however, if Tier 1 carriers are paying a hefty price for roaming agreements, they may eventually just opt to build out their network, Hyers says.

	What is a Tier 1 carrier?
		A Tier 1 provider is "able to offer market-leading SLAs and in addition either owns or controls the substantial portion of the underlying network infrastructure to connect 90% of its customers," she says.
		To be a global Tier 1 provider, she says the carriers must operate in all the key countries and cities in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
		However, she considers MCI to be a Tier 1 provider because its bankruptcy proceedings were caused by fraud rather than the company' business performance.

		Each nationwide (Tier 1) digital carrier to make available 2 handset models with reduced RF emissions or 25% of total number of models it offers, whichever is greater within 2 years (by September 2005)
		SHHH agreed to this compromise because discussions with the industry led them to conclude that industry was more likely to comply with requirements that applied to a fixed number of phones; companies felt uneasy about agreeing to a percentage instead of a known quantity.
		TDMA Carriers -- The Commission granted carriers who are replacing TDMA networks with a different technology until September 18, 2006, to complete those transitions and then comply with the HAC rules.

		Adding some weight to Koenig's pitch is the fact that Vivace says it has already shipped its switch to a "Tier-1" carrier that has been testing the platform since last year and plans full deployment within a few months.
		Its customer, like many carriers, realized that its own ATM switches were supposed to support LAN services, voice and video applications, and the like, at high speeds but couldn't scale beyond OC12.
		Vivace is "supporting a carrier's traditional services, while offering them a simple migration towards packet-based switching," says Michael Ladam, a senior research analyst at Stratecast Partners.

		The BTTB always chooses 'Tier-1' carriers as its overseas traffic partners to protect this highly strategic revenue stream.

		He also did not say why he had approved the engagement of the IGC despite its not being a Tier-1 carrier in the first place.

		These designs are generally "Carrier Class" and the number of ports is approximately 10,000-20,000 in some examples and in the PSTN outsourcing the 3 DS3's of VOIP support about 2.5 million minutes a month at typical usage rates.
		The only difference is whether they do it themselves and the hardware vendors and Tier 1 carriers get the service contracts, or the RBOC's re-invent themselves to better serve their local clients.
		The most important thing to note is that under this model, the tier 1 carrier avoids any and all installation of VOIP equipment, configuration and support of that equipment, AND gets the added benefit of offering worldwide voip services to its legacy PSTN customers.

		A carrier might normally route based upon a blended termination rate for its VoIP traffic within a given state; instead, the Vero Systems team built separate, cost optimized routing plans for all intrastate and interstate switches for this Tier 1 VoIP carrier customer.
