Telinta, a provider of Hosted Softswitch solutions, has signed an agreement with proleneä, a provider of Local Number Portability (LNP) solutions, to provide highly customizable hosted solutions for VoIP service providers.

Most service providers realize a 15 to 30 percent increase in savings on their network termination bills once they begin using LNP data. Being a professional services company, proleneä is focused on maximizing the profitability of its clients through a specialized assortment of service offerings. Through this partnership, VoIP service providers will now be able to query proleneä’s LNP data directly from Telinta’s cloud-based softswitch platform to optimally manage VoIP termination costs. proleneä also said they will offer special promotional rates to Telinta customers.

“Telinta understands that controlling VoIP termination costs is extremely important to our customers,” said Alex Ferdman, chief executive officer of Telinta.

“We partner with industry leaders like proleneä who can help Telinta customers gain a competitive edge,” added Ferdman.

Telinta customers will now be able to optimize their termination costs on calls to the US and Canada by more accurately routing the call via the destination’s LRN rather than the dialed phone number, explained Cheryl Fluhler, VP of Marketing & Sales.

LNP queries enable VoIP service providers to route calls based on Location Routing Number (LRN) to help reduce termination costs. When a phone number is ported, a ten-digit LRN number is assigned to it. Telinta’s hosted softswitch queries proleneä’s LNP data, finds that a ported number has an LRN associated with it, and routes calls to the carrier now serving that number.

“Since VoIP termination prices can vary significantly by carrier, proleneä helps Telinta customers avoid unexpected termination costs. proleneä also provides hourly LNP usage reports,” explained Cheryl Fluhler.

Telinta customers who open a new account with proleneä qualify for a special promotion too, confirmed the Company’s statement.
