Founded in 1897,
NTELOS is the largest independent telephone company in Virginia, running
a fiber-optic network and Personal Communication System area with over
11 million people throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and
North Carolina.
Key Challenges
To extend quickly
and easily into competitive new markets, NTELOS needed to develop full
Number Portability (NP) functionality, which enables subscribers to
retain their phone numbers when they move to a different provider.
“Our history
with VeriSign has always been extremely positive.”
Frank Berry Vice President Engineering and Operations NTELOS
Solution
Since the development
of NP functionality requires a heavy investment in hardware, software,
and training, NTELOS turned to VeriSign for NP services, accessing the
VeriSign® NP SOA service, the VeriSign® CNAM database service, and specialized
consulting on a variety of projects.
Results
NTELOS was able to greatly simplify order-entry and
provisioning tasks, and found the VeriSign services to be highly reliable
and cost efficient.
NTELOS particularly praised VeriSign support, which
provided top-tier expertise whenever it was needed.
