PARIS, April 12, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- eServGlobal
Limited (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), a provider of smarter
transaction management solutions in Charging, Payment, Retention
and Network Services today reported that it was awarded
certification by the GSMA for meeting the technical requirements of
the Pathfinder Program, the GSMA's Carrier ENUM Service.
Representing the interests of the worldwide communications
industry, the GSMA created Pathfinder, a global number translation
service, to allow operators, carriers and hubs more cost-efficient
routing of international calls, SMS and multi-media messages using
a combination of TDM and SIP networks. The GSMA also set up the
Pathfinder Industry Partner Program aimed at promoting
interoperability of session-based communications and technologies,
including VoIP peering, SIP and ENUM, Messaging and Presence
Services as well as interconnection of fixed and mobile
networks.
A particular aspect of the Pathfinder service is the Number
Portability (NP) Discovery service which enables operators to
identify the correct destination Service Provider Network (SPN) for
relevant traffic corridors. Visibility regarding the destination
SPN enables the inquiring network to be more intelligent about
route optimization, traffic bundling, service delivery, quality of
service, billing and reconciliation. This enhanced destination
knowledge further helps manage the voice traffic bundles and
termination rates in commercial agreements and reduces missed
message delivery.
This fits in well with eServGlobal's own Local Number
Portability offering, which permits an operator to test each call
for NP on a real time basis. Checking national numbers is done
using a copy of the local NP database. Used in conjunction with the
GSMA's PathFinder NP Discovery Service, operators can check
international destinations as well, to ensure that they are
correctly routed without incurring further costs.
"The GSMA is pleased to welcome eServGlobal into the growing
GSMA Pathfinder Partner Program and is delighted to help service
providers manage number portability more cost effectively as a
result," said Adrian Dodd, Senior
Director at the GSMA.
"After significant testing, we're proud to announce that
eServGlobal has been named an accredited member of the Pathfinder
Programme by the GSMA" said Craig
Halliday, Chief Operating Officer, eServGlobal. "We look
forward to assisting operators to increase their connection success
rate and make significant cost savings on their call routing."
