Overview

NetNumber Service Bureau

NetNumber provides a variety of hosted ENUM, SIP and Number-Portability services to customers through a service-bureau operation located in the US. The NetNumber service-bureau delivers services through a highly available, fully-redundant network node infrastructure hosted on the Verizon IP backbone.

Hosted-TITAN Infrastructure

For customers that aren’t ready to deploy and support a complete TITAN Master and Edge infrastructure, NetNumber provides a hosted TITAN service option. Carriers can access the full suite of TITAN ENUM, SIP and Number-Portability addressing and routing services through a fully-redundant, carrier-grade NetNumber hosted infrastructure. Key features include:

  • Full Solution Redundancy: Two (2) Master servers and six (6) Edge servers distributed between Boston and Chicago data centers.
  • Secure IPSEC VPN Access
  • Customer-Site Edge Servers: NetNumber will optionally deploy and support onsite TITAN Edge servers within a customer’s private network for situations where enhanced security and/or performance is required.

Global Carrier-ID Lookup Service

NetNumber provides real-time query access to portability-corrected service provider ID data on a global basis. NetNumber is a leading provider of carrier lookup services for the mobile-messaging and mobile-content communities supporting the efficient routing of MMS and SMS services.

ENUM query interface: Customers issue an ENUM query with a dialed number to receive back a portability-corrected service provider ID that identifies the destination operator in the form of a carrier-identification-code (CIC) parameter as per RFC 4769.

North-American Data: NetNumber acts as a clearinghouse in North-America for the efficient discovery of carrier lookup information. Data sources available from NetNumber include:

  • Portability-data: Real time data feed of 200+ million US and Canadian ported numbers from the North-American NPAC central database including over 500,000 daily updates.
  • Number-block data: Full code-range assignment data for country-code “1”.
  • MVNO data: Daily data feeds received from US and Canadian mobile operators identifying MVNO services like Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, etc.

Global Data: NetNumber provides customers with access to a large and growing pool of global number-portability and code-range assignment data.

  • Portability-data: NetNumber’s carrier lookup services include access to portability data for multiple countries including the US, Canada, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Sweden. Additional countries are added regularly.
  • Number-block (code-range) assignment data: 100+ countries covered.

US Portability Data Feed

For customers that run their own TITAN Master and Edge infrastructure, NetNumber offers a real-time data feed services to customers that are authorized to receive a download of North-American portability-data (NPAC), number-block assignment data (LERG) and private MVNO sub-assignment data.

  • North-American NPAC data: US and Canadian number-portability data feed. NetNumber dramatically simplifies the process of getting access to all 8 regions of the US and Canadian number portability database through a flat-fee data download service. Customers can sign-up for all 8 regions or a subset of data. Updates are distributed in real-time.
  • Code-Range data: US and Canadian number-block assignment data from the Telcordia LERG database.
  • MVNO data: MVNO and private sub-assignment data from multiple operators in North-America covering 20 million numbers. Private sub-assignment data is received from AT&T, Virgin Mobile US, Virgin Mobile Canada and Boost Mobile. Efforts are underway to expand the scope of private MVNO data sources to include additional countries/regions around the world.

SPIDER Data Feed

NetNumber operates a highly-available hosted SPIDER data distribution service that provides for the efficient exchange of interconnect data between trusted partners on a global basis. The NetNumber hosted SPIDER service supports the needs of both “distributors” and “receivers” of VoIP interconnect addressing data:

  • Distributors: Service providers that want to distribute interconnect data to trusted partners use SPIDER to publish the numbers that they serve (E.164 numbers or portability-corrected routing numbers) broken down into logical groupings called service-areas.
  • Receivers: Service providers that want to receive interconnect data from trusted partners use SPIDER to download one or more service-areas into a TITAN Master server where the data is used for interconnect routing purposes.
  • Business Model: Distributors can create any number of service-areas within the NetNumber hosted SPIDER at no charge. Receivers can use SPIDER to download service area data for internal routing purposes at no charge. Receivers pay a flat monthly fee to download service-area data from trusted third-parties.
