Number Portability
E N D
Presentation Transcript
How NP works • Customer wants to take number to new carrier • Signs contract to new carrier • Sents cancellation to old carrier • New carrier applies for number porting • Old carrier confirms number porting • Confirmation performance checked by regulator • Porting information is distributed to all carriers
NP Process Participants • Network Providers • Incumbent • Other Service Providers • Customers • Regulator
NP Solution • Fixed Networks • Service Number • Mobile Networks • Voice over IP
NP Technological Process NP Network Billing CRM carrier
NP Solution - distributed C5 C4 C6 C3 C1 C2
NP Solution - centralised C5 C4 MRD C6 C3 C1 C2
Example GermanySame Problem – Many Solutions • Mobile NP - Central Application OK • Local NP – Distributed Solution Bad • Service NP – Central Application OK • Voice over IP NP No
NP Solution for Slovakia • One Solution for FNNP,MNP,Voice/IP • Central Application • Paid by carriers /proportional by assigned number/ • Central database run by local company • Advantages : • Same rules for everybody • Automatic checking • High reliability • Lower investment per carrier • Slovakia will be ahead of other countries with a working unified Number portability solution
