NetNumber Manages Large-Scale Telephony Data
Source: PointBase, Inc.
In today's telecommunications industry, all forms of personal messaging are increasingly
converging to be enabled by a single IP network. This has opened the door for a new type of
technology that provides super-scalable Domain Name Systems (DNS) extended to support
telephony based on the ENUM standard (IETF 2916).
Since 1997, NetNumber has been developing a full-scale ENUM system that uses DNS as a tool to "discover" all IP services associated with a specific telephone number. The Massachusetts-based company offers a complete set of secure, reliable, highly scalable products and services to wire-line carriers and wireless operators that allows them to translate telephone numbers into communications service address information. These translated addresses support all forms of IP-enabled communications, including multimedia messaging services, real-time voice, voicemail, fax and unified messaging.
