Contractual Terms
There are three different connection types to OCH system:
Direct connection
Provides access to the central OCH system, and allows import and
export numbers directly via the OCH system. Porttings can be
monitored via OCH Online, which includes statistics reports and
databasedumps. With this connection, the operator can both send and
receive transactions. There will also be an opportunity for resale
of OCH services (by prior agreement with OCH).
Indirect connection
Provides the right to use OCH data via resold services from an
operator with direct connection and does not give direct access to
central OCH system. It is possible to use OCH online system and
access to order statistical reports. This form of connection is
typically used when the internal clearing of transactions are
carried out by another operator.
Passive connection
Provides one-way access only to receive updates from OCH system,
and access to perform searches via OCH Online. Statistics Reports
cannot be ordered with this access.
Additional Agreement for resale of OCH
services
Provides customer with direct connection the right to resell OCH
services to other national operators whom have entered into an
agreement as a customer of OCH with indirect connection.
