Working knowledge of LERG Routing Guide which was the most comprehensive routing data output available from Telecordia(TRA).  Data supports the current local exchange network within the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and identifies reported planned changes in the network.  The LERG Routing Guide is primarily designed to be used for routing of calls by service providers (wireless, wire line, inter and intra exchange, etc.).  It also supports functions such as networking planning and engineering, numbering administration, and is used by companies, including many outside of the telecommunications industry, to support a wide range of business operations and planning needs.  The LERG has been in existence since 1984, and provides for a common basis for service providers within the NANP to directly report their numbering and routing information.   The LERG is supported by integrated and quality-oriented industry processes and is similarly supported by TRA.  Data in the LERG includes, but is not limited to:

·  Operating Company Numbers, Company Names, Routing Contacts

·  Country Code Assignments

·  NPA Information (i.e., Area Codes)

·  LATA Codes By Region

·  Destination Codes (i.e. NPA NXX and Thousands-Blocks) (details on over 900,000 assignments)

·  Oddball NXXs (e.g. 911, 976)

·   Switching Entity Record detail (e.g. Equipment Type, V&H Coordinates)

·   Rate Center details (e.g. V&H Coordinates) and Localities (including county and postal codes)

·   Switch Homing Arrangements (tandem and other switch-to-switch interconnections)

·   Operator Access Tandem Codes (ATCs)

·   Location Routing Numbers (LRNs)

·  identify business and technical requirements for proposed system modifications or technology purchases.
