a state of being connected reciprocally; "an interconnection between the two buildings"
The linkage of transmission lines between two utilities, or between a utility and an end-user, enabling power to be moved in either direction.
Term used to denote the connections between networks run by various providers, as regulated by the German Telecommunications Act.
The physical and logical linking of telecommunication networks used by the same or different organizations in order to allow communication.
The linking of two or more telecommunications networks, such as the telephone portion of a cable system to a local exchange company or a long distance carrier.
The conductive path required to achieve electrical connection between a circuit element and the rest of the circuit.
A connection between electrical generators (for example, micropower generators) and the electrical grid.
Generic term referring to traffic exchanged between different telecommunications networks and access to another provider's services or facilities (e.g. access to raw copper in the subscriber network). Not all networks and services can be interconnected directly, as they use different technical solutions. To enable such networks to "talk together", a number of conditions must be specified on how to connect them together physically and translate the "language" of the individual services. The interconnection rules also regulate the service provider's obligation to meet requests from other providers for interconnection and access to services and facilities.
The physical connection of telephone networks owned by two different operators. Network operators typically charge a per minute fee for use of their network by other network operators (referred to as an "interconnect payment" or "access charge").
the linking (whether directly or indirectly by physical or logical means, or by a combination of physical or logical means) of one Public Electronic Communications Network to another for the purpose of enabling the persons using one of them to be able: (a) to communicate with users of the other one; or (b) to make use of services provided by means of the other one (whether by the provider of that Network or by another person);
The connection of a piece of telephone equipment to the public switched network.
Linking together of two disparate networks, for example so that parties connected to one network can communicate with parties connected to the other.
A tie permitting the flow of electricity between the facilities of two electric systems.
When this term is capitalized (Interconnection), any one of the four synchronized bulk electric system networks in North American Electric Reliability Council: Eastern, Western, ERCOT and Quebec, which are only connected through DC ties. When this term is not capitalized (interconnection), the facilities that connect two systems or control areas.
The physical connection of a generating facility in accordance with the requirements of this standard so that operation in parallel with the utility's local distribution system can occur.
the physical and logical linking of telecommunications networks used by the same or a different organisation in order to allow the users of one organisation to communicate with users of the same or another organisation, or to access services provided by another organisation. Services may be provided by the parties involved or other parties who have access to the network.
The connection of an electric generator to the electric grid. The term "interconnection" is used rather than "connection" because the electric grid itself is a web of wires and substations that are interconnected to each other to provide multiple paths for electricity.

A connection or link between power systems that enables them to draw on each other's reserve capacity in time of need.
The connection between telecommunication equipment or tele-service and the public telephone network.
the connection of two networks thereby allowing customers on one network to connect with customers on the other network, or to access services provided by the other network.
Mechanically joining assemblies together to complete electrical circuits.
The linking (whether it is directly or indirectly or by physical or logical means, or if it is by a combination of physical/ logical means) of a Public Electronic Communications Network to another PECN for the sole purpose of enabling the person using one of them: (A) communicate to users of the other one; or alternatively (b) make use of the services that are provided by means of the other (this happens whether it is by the provider of that Network or by another person).
Connecting one wireless network to another, such as linking a wireless carrier's network with a local exchange network.
The conductive path required to achieve a connection from a circuit element to the remainder of the circuit.
is the linking of at least two telecommunications network segments at a common physical point, where each interconnected network segment is managed by a separate party, in such a manner as to allow traffic from each party's network segment to be transferred onto the other party's network segment.
The physical system of electrical transmission between the Customer's generation and the utility.
The Internet itself is a "network of networks." All of these networks are owned by different private providers. For the Internet to work the way we expect it to, we depend on each of these networks to "interconnect," or pass user traffic back and forth.
the physical and logical connection of two operators networks thereby allowing customers of one system to connect with customers of the other, or to access services provided from the other system.
A connection scheme that provides for the direct connection of a cable to another cable or to an equipment cable without a patch cord or jumper.
The linkage,by wire,radio,satellite or other means,of two or more existing telecommunications carriers or operators with one another for the purpose of allowing or enabling the subscribers of one carrier or operator to access or reach the subscribers of the other carriers or operators.
The physical plant and equipment, usually at transmission-level voltage, that transfers electric energy between two or more entities. It can consist of a substation and an associated transmission line and communications facilities, or a simple electric power line or switching station.
Any variety of arrangements that permit the connection of telecommunications equipment to a common carrier network such as a public switched telephone network.
The linking together of systems. The linkage used to join two or more communications units, such as systems, networks, links, nodes, equipment, circuits, and devices.
In a competitive power producer context, the point at which the transmission lines carrying the electricity output of a power facility connects with the utility grid, usually the local utilities nearest substation.
equal access to networks between incumbant and competitive local exchange carriers.
The connection of one telecommunication carrier's network to another or the connection of a piece of telephone equipment to the nationwide telephone network.
It is the physical linking of a carrier's network with equipment or facilities not belonging to that network. The term may refer to a connection between a carrier's facilities and the equipment belonging to its customer, or to a connection between two (or more) carriers
Mandated in the Telecommunications Act, this requires incumbents to connect to various parts of the incumbent's network. While the Telecommunications Act mandates interconnection, state public utility commissions largely set the terms.
The facilities that connect two transmission systems or control areas. Also known as an intertie.
Term used for the linking of networks of different providers, as regulated by the German Telecommunications Act.
The linkage of transmission lines between two utility, enabling power to be moved in either direction. Interconnections allow the utilities to help contain costs while enhancing system reliability.
The connecting of one network with another, e.g. a cellular carrier's wireless network with the local exchange.
Two or more electric systems having a common transmission line that permits a flow of energy between them. The physical connection of the electric power transmission facilities allows for the sale or exchange of energy.
The interworking of two separate networks, including wireline and wireless. Interconnection is used to refer both to the technical interface and to the commercial arrangements between two network operators providing service.
