All set for portability

The specific price of the Number Portability Gateway depends on several factors, such as your set-up and requirements. These are the most important aspects that determine pricing:

• Market size: a bigger market (e.g., more users and connections) means more processes, which impact storage, CPU and support needs. Note that this is only a price determining factor pre-launch. An active solution can be scaled without additional costs.
• Contract term: a longer term of the contract allows you more time and opportunity to recover costs than a shorter term contract.

Implementation of the Number Portability Gateway usually takes 3 to 4 months, from project launch to a fully available service for end users. We support you every step of the way: from design to implementation and onboarding, including tailored training and customer support.

We have successfully connected common vendors to our Number Portability Gateway, such as Titanium (NetNumber TITAN), Cerillion, Mavenir, Amdocs and Oracle Tekelec. The Number Portability Clearinghouse Solutions connected are COIN, Descartes, Mediafon, Teletech and obviously our own NPC.

Besides standard interfaces such as API, GUI and sFTP, we also design and implement tailored integrations and interfaces based on the systems to connect.

The Number Portability Gateway instantly gets the operator’s system number portability ready. It is a reliable solution and is in accordance with all modern security standards. Effortless integration of any central number portability database and operator OSS/BSS systems is possible. It also helps you avoid high operational costs through our centralized approach.

Running the Number Portability Gateway in the cloud is just as safe as operating it locally. Depending on your local set-up, it may even be safer to run the platform in the cloud. Our application is secure by design, and we take technical and organizational measures for data security and availability. These measures include regular audits and assessments of our solutions, carried out by and independent company.

Also consider these general safety benefits of the cloud:

1. Increased availability: in the cloud, the platform data is stored in multiple data centers that are geo-redundant. If one server goes down, the other server instantly takes over. Achieving this on a local level is expensive.
2. Improved physical security: major cloud providers spare no expense to protect their data centers. They have state-of-the-art physical and digital security, as well as round-the-clock security monitoring.
3. 24/7 security monitoring: cloud providers also invest in a security operations center (SOC), monitoring the infrastructure 24/7. It is costly and challenging to achieve this on a local level.
4. No out-of-date hardware: to run a secure platform locally, hardware has to be replaced when its economical and physical lifecycle ends (usually every five years). This often includes renewing software licenses as well. When using the cloud, this is not an issue.

Everyone using the Number Portability Gateway receives tailored customer support. Documentation is centrally available, and your users are properly onboarded and trained. Because the platform is delivered as a managed service, we will keep it up-to-date and add new functionalities. Of course, the platform is also monitored continuously, to ensure you are notified of issues in a timely manner.
