Description
As telecom infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, and communication service providers (CSP) look to reduce capital costs and control expenditures, CSPs have looked to outsource various telephony components to telecom managed service providers. One area often ignored or misunderstood is telecom database infrastructure. Databases (DB) in telecom are used for wide-ranging purposes such as toll-free calling, prepaid wireless, Voice over IP (VoIP), inter-carrier messaging, and more. For example, the Electronic Number (ENUM) DB is relied upon for VoIP call completion, which requires PSTN-to-IP address mapping.
Telecom DB and Directory Services provide a real-time “look-up” function, which provides useful information based on previously stored data. Information is often provided over an Application Programming Interface (API) and may be used internally by the CSP, such as the Calling Name database used directly for the carrier Enhanced Caller ID feature, or shared with various third-party service providers, such as data provided over telecom APIs for various Over-the-Top (OTT) apps and services. One example of the latter is carrier’s end-user location data provided to an OTT provider of location-based apps.
