NetNumber Partners with Somos to Deliver Toll-Free Routing Data

Mar 26, 2018

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., March 26, 2018 — Somos, Inc., the provider of trusted, neutral Toll-Free numbering and registry administration services for the telecommunications industry for more than 20 years, announced its partnership with NetNumber. As the first Somos Authorized Distributor for RouteLink®, NetNumber will bring Toll-Free routing data to the market in a new and more affordable way.

NetNumber Global Data Services enable operators to eliminate cost, reduce complexity, improve reliability and future-proof Toll-Free routing capabilities through the delivery of NetNumber’s onsite TITAN Centralized Signaling and Routing Control (CSRC) platform, helping communication service providers reduce both the cost and complexity of the routing process. TITAN, the industry’s most robust CSRC platform, provides a common, software-based infrastructure for all signaling control, routing policy enforcement and subscriber database services in the network.

With this partnership, NetNumber has incorporated RouteLink®, a Somos service that provides direct access to authoritative Toll-Free routing data for network operators, with its offering of registries and services over the TITAN platform.

TITAN users can now download a full copy of Somos’ authoritative routing data, sourced from the SMS/800 Toll-Free Number (TFN) Registry. This information is locally stored, analyzed and processed on the TITAN platform based on each customer’s business rules, providing the fastest and most efficient possible route for the delivery of a Toll-Free call.

Onsite implementation also reduces the financial cost of referral queries. Users can now leverage local Toll-Free routing data for each query, relieving the monetary burden of querying external routing services for each call.

“This partnership extends our reach to a broader set of network operators who are already realizing the benefits of TITAN,” said Ryan Karnas, Director, Product Management at Somos. “RouteLink® adds more value to NetNumber customers, who now have access to authoritative Toll-Free routing data and the ability to store it locally.”
