LNP and WNP

Our Number Portability software solution enables carriers to comply with U.S. and Canadian mandates for regulations implementing LNP and WNP. Number porting allows customers the ability to retain, or “port”, their phone numbers when changing from one service provider to another. Our LNP software which includes the functionality to support ordering, provisioning, reporting, testing and exchanging information between carriers is widely used by wireline, wireless and cable service providers in North America. Over time, we have expanded our number portability product features and developed other number portability related OSS software products for the wireline, wireless and cable markets. Our full LNP and WNP product line comprises the following collection of products:

· OrderPath® order entry;

· NumberManager® network provisioning;

· LNP DataServer™ data warehousing;

· VeriPort™ NPAC testing; and

· Verify™ product suite for monitoring carriers’ application communications for optimum service assurance.

Our LNP software which includes the functionality to support ordering, provisioning, reporting, testing and exchanging information between carriers is widely used by wireline, wireless and cable service providers in North America. In addition, we developed the initial custom software used by all eight regional Number Portability Administration Centers (NPACs) in North

America to control the porting process. This software receives ported telephone number information from carriers as changes occur and distributes the data to all subscribing carriers in the region. Our software was provided under contract to NeuStar, Inc., formerly a division of Lockheed Martin IMS. Over time, we have expanded our number portability product features and developed other number portability related OSS software products for the wireline, wireless and cable markets. Our full LNP and WNP product line comprises the following collection of products:

Number Management

We developed our NumeriTrack® solution in response to the FCC mandated number conservation and number pooling regulations for both wireline and wireless carriers. These regulations, implemented in 2003, resulted from the FCC’s concern that the U.S. was running out of 10-digit telephone numbers. As a result, the FCC designed regulations to extend the life of the 10-digit numbering plan well into the 21st century by changing the way phone numbers are allocated to carriers and specifying rules regarding the assignment and classification of those numbers. The regulations also require regular utilization reporting by carriers and articulation of circumstances under which previously underutilized telephone numbers must be returned to the “pool” to be reallocated to other carriers. Our NumeriTrack® solution, which has been licensed to seven carriers, facilitates compliance with the FCC mandates for both wireline and wireless carriers (and cable carriers providing telephony services). Our solution provides inventory management of phone numbers and other assets such as SIM cards and supports inventory assignments and integration with carriers’ existing back-office systems. The NumeriTrack® solution also contains features for the inventory of, and assignment logic for, numbers associated with IP addresses and is used by a large carrier in the U.S. for deployment of a Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) service offering. As is the case with our LNP and WNP solutions, the implementation of our NumeriTrack® solution has far-reaching implications for integration with carriers’ existing OSS environments and business processes. During 2006 and 2007, we modified our NumeriTrack® International application to address markets outside of North America.

Our investments in our International NumeriTrack® solution allow us to sell and deploy this solution in markets outside of the United States with a version of the product that we call International NumeriTrack®. The resource management and assignment capabilities of International NumeriTrack® enables carriers around the globe to acquire and track phone numbers and other logical and physical assets for their products on both traditional and next generation wireline and wireless networks. The system will efficiently manage those assets through the lifecycle of the service, allowing carriers to spend less in acquiring new resources such as IP addresses, phone numbers and SIM cards, for various products and regions.

For traditional wireline, wireless networks, as well as Internet Protocol (“IP”) networks, this requires service providers to allow customers the ability to retain, or “port”, their phone numbers when changing from one service provider to another. Our LNP software for ordering, provisioning, reporting, testing and exchanging information between carriers is widely used by wireline, wireless and cable service providers and is involved in over 45 percent of all porting transactions in the United States each year. In addition, we developed the initial custom software used by all eight regional Number Portability Administration Centers (NPACs) in North America to control the porting process. This software receives ported telephone number information from carriers as changes occur and distributes the data to all subscribing carriers in the region.

LNP and WNP

Our Number Portability software solution enables carriers to comply with U.S. mandates in the Telecom Act and subsequent Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") regulations implementing LNP and WNP. For traditional wireline, wireless networks, as well as Internet Protocol ("IP") networks, this requires service providers to allow customers the ability to retain, or "port", their phone numbers when changing from one service provider to another. Our LNP software for ordering, provisioning, reporting, testing and exchanging information between carriers is widely used by wireline service providers and is involved in approximately 50 percent of all porting transactions in the United States each year. In addition, we developed the initial custom software used by all eight regional NPACs in North America to control the porting process. This software receives ported telephone number information from carriers as changes occur and distributes the data to all subscribing carriers in the region. Our software was provided under contract to NeuStar, Inc., formerly a division of Lockheed Martin IMS. Over time, we have expanded our Number Portability product features and developed other Number Portability related OSS software products for the wireline and wireless markets. Today, our WNP software is used by five wireless carriers and two service bureaus. It is estimated that approximately 30 percent of wireless customers change carriers at least once per year. Our full LNP and WNP product line comprises the following collection of products: OrderPath® order entry; NumberManager® network provisioning; LNP DataServer™ data warehousing; PortExchange™ Inter-carrier Communications Processor ("ICP") pre-porting; VeriPort NPAC testing; VeriComm™ ICP testing; ServiceLink™ automated ICP System for WNP; and Verify product suite for monitoring carriers' application communications for optimum service assurance.
