Number Portability Scout (NPS)

Network efficiency and the effective management of resources are key for any mobile operator looking to grow profit margins. Number Portability Scout allows operators to route voice calls more effectively in Mobile Number Portability situations.

Real-time network identification for efficient voice traffic routing

The Number Portability Scout service allows mobile operators to optimise voice traffic routing by identifying which network a particular mobile phone number (MSISDN) belongs to before routing a voice call. These MNP checks checks enable massive cost savings by removing both the call forwarding cost and the blended rates on the buying and selling side. Customers also benefit from increased cost control and reduced customer complaints due to blocked call forwarding.

 

tyntec’s NPS uses multiple sourcing for gathering porting information. This means NPS can also provide resolution of mobile number portability in countries which do not have a centralized ported number database. The powerful NPS platform consolidates a variety of data formats and provides a harmonized query/response to customer systems.  This allows for the configuration of customer specific patterns for ported number data provisioning.

With Number Portability Scout, you can:

  • Take advantage of unique triple play ported number data.
  • Synchronize centralized database data.
  • Enable easy interconnection via a broad variety of interfaces.
  • Benefit from very high throughput, matching large carrier requirements and scalable data accuracy levels.

Benefits of implementing NPS

Optimise voice call routing when MNP is in place: the implementation of mobile number portability has led to technical complexities in voice traffic routing. This means extra resources and less efficient traffic flows. By finding out this information before placing a voice call, operators and carriers can avoid multiple and unnecessary re-routing of voice traffic.

 

Cost reduction and control: routing the voice call correctly at the first attempt reduces signalling costs.

 

Increase profit margins: when cost is reduced, there is room for improved profit margins. In a saturated business like voice, reducing cost and increasing margins is essential to a healthy business in the long-term.
