Number Portability

OSPrey-NP_Logo_340x94OSPrey-NP Number Portability Server

OSPrey-NP is a specialized software package designed for hosting the U.S. Number Portability database.  

The Need

Up to 40% of all telephone calls in the U.S. are made to ported telephone numbers. Routing calls based on the dialed telephone number can cause up to 40% of all calls being misrouted.  For VoIP service providers, misrouted calls can degrade quality of service and increase termination fees by 15%-25%.  Number portability correction becomes more critical everyday as the share of ported numbers continues to increase.

The Solution

The solution is simple and well established.  Route telephone calls based on the ‘Routing Number’, not the dialed telephone number.  However, for SIP service providers sending a number portability query to an external database adds expense and critical dependency on an external network resource.

OSPrey-NP solves these problems for service providers.  OSPrey-NP is a simple, low cost, high performance software platform for hosting the U.S. number portability database locally within your network. The OSPrey-NP server automatically stays synchronized with the U.S. Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC, www.npac.com) to ensure that your network has a near real time copy of the NPAC.

The OSPrey platform has been used in carrier operations since 2000.  OSPrey-NP is a specialized version of the OSPrey platform and is based on years of proven carrier grade reliability and performance.
