Accelerating the migration to IP with intelligent IP-based routing

Accelerating the migration to IP with intelligent IP-based routing

While several free or low-cost IP-based voice services threaten the traditional voice business model, carriers still possess a hold on one of the most critical and intrinsic assets for successful converged IP communications: customers’ communication identities (i.e., telephone numbers).

In an increasing IP world, ownership of the data becomes the crown jewels of every carrier. Instead of looking with envy on web 2.0 adoption successes (e.g., social networking sites), the ability to apply the telephony and routing plan data in IP will unlock the migration and accelerate IP telephony adoption.

The challenges, however, remain in managing the complexity of such data size and diversity of sources, pushing the need for consolidation into a repository that can provide the IP switching infrastructure with the necessary legacy capabilities of telephony services such as number portability, toll-free services, do-not-call lists, etc, which are all the defining foundation of telephony services.

Enter Nominum Navitas. Nominum Navitas is an IP-application Routing Directory that consolidates legacy telephony number plans and IP routing identifiers, giving carriers a rapid and effective evolutionary path to IP telephony. Navitas has the capability to manage massive amounts of data on IP networks while offering compatibility with deployed SIP-based networking elements. It enables carriers to improve their margins by managing profitable routes with integration of Least-Cost Routing applications. Furthermore, it opens the door for various new converged services such as ring-back tones, call routing for web 2.0 applications.

In this webinar, we will address the following key questions:

• What are the challenges behind migrating legacy telephony databases to IP?
• What are IP-application Routing Directories?
• What are the key applications and services solved by IPRDs?
• What are the key capabilities of the Nominum Navitas IPRD solution?
• How carriers are putting to use IPRDs to turn IP to their advantage through increased margins and revenues?
• How telephone numbers are becoming a source for anonymous identities in web 2.0 services, and what this means to carriers?
