Fully Managed Multi-Party Registry System
The industry faces a challenge that stems from applications using internet protocols to communicate with consumer devices addressed by telephone numbers. To ensure successful service delivery, the application must have the ability to identify the carrier-of-record for the destined telephone number. Number portability, reseller arrangements and leased numbers complicate carrier-of-record identification. Further complicating IP communications, nationally regulated number management systems do not describe how telephone numbers are allocated for end-user assignment by the service provider for different services such as SMS, MMS and voice.
TNS Carrier NRD offers a cost-effective solution to resolve these issues. Our registry is populated with information sourced from industry and regulatory number management systems, along with authoritative data sourced directly from the carrier or reseller.
This helps the application to discover the accurate carrier-of-record and applicable IP address for a given telephone number by simply performing a number lookup. TNS Carrier NRD consists of key service functions: Local Service Management System, Registrar, Registry, and Central Replica or optional Local Replica which can be collocated with the customer’s application, within their data center.
