For network operators, traditional NNIs are manual, slow, and complex. Enabling cloud connectivity is even more challenging, requiring extensive protocols and coordination. Once traffic leaves their network, operators lose visibility over type 2 connections. These manual processes and lack of visibility delay service delivery and make ensuring SLAs nearly impossible. MaiaEdge, which was founded by the team behind Acme Packet and 128 Technology, offers a new approach — enabling operators to federate and provide cloud access automatically. With MaiaEdge, operators can now rapidly connect with partner networks, automatically connect customers to cloud on-ramps without complex protocols or extensive configuration, and maintain sovereignty across federated networks and cloud connections. MaiaEdge also offers offering deterministic, encrypted paths without the complexity of traditional routing stacks. For network operators, this means faster time to revenue through instant service provisioning, expanded reach without infrastructure investment by federating with partners in minutes, and the ability to offer premium services that customers demand. p MaiaEdge will present during the Breakfast & Learn session, “Flip the Switch: Faster, Simpler Private Connectivity,” on Tuesday, November 4, at 7:30 a.m. in Tampa Ballroom 1. The team will also be available in Booth K6. TransNexus announced Branded Calling ID (BCID), an exciting new way for voice service providers to offer branded calling services to their enterprise customers and display trusted caller brand information to their subscribers. Unlike proprietary branded calling solutions, voice service providers can participate in the BCID ecosystem and earn revenue for providing this service to their customers on both inbound and outbound calls. BCID caller information is independently verified by an authorized BCID Vetting Agent, which ensures that caller information relayed to terminating service providers is trustworthy. BCID also uses RCD capabilities in STIR/SHAKEN to transmit branded calling information within the SHAKEN PASSporT. To send this information, the enterprise, OSP and BCID authorized Signing Agent all must join the BCID ecosystem and agree to abide by the rules. When the OSP originates a branded call in the BCID ecosystem, the Signing Agent authenticates the call with a SHAKEN certificate issued by CTIA, which is an approved STI Certification Authority. This certificate is only used on BCID calls. When a TSP performs SHAKEN verification on a BCID-branded call, it knows that the call is a legitimate BCID branded call because the SHAKEN certificate was issued by CTIA. If the TSP sees that the SHAKEN certificate was not issued by CTIA, then the caller information may not carry the benefits of independent third-party vetting and the level of trust that it provides. TransNexus expects that TSPs will use SHAKEN information, including OSP reputation and whether calls are BCID calls, as inputs to the reasonable analytics it applies to calls at termination. p Stop by Booth K4 to meet the TransNexus team and learn more about Branded Calling ID.
