Iristel, a global communications company, announced the launch of wireless number portability as well as its expansion in Kenya.
The portability launch provides customers with a quicker method of transitioning their numbers to maintain business continuity. The average port time for wireless numbers is five hours vs five days for wireline numbers. All wireless numbers are also SMS-ready.
Iristel takes porting seriously and has put together a team of specialists to make sure the process runs smoothly, no matter the number of DIDs or carriers involved. The Iristel team members have experience exclusively around LNP and their dedication and consistency allow the company to perform a large number of simultaneous ports, hot-cuts and outside-hour projects.
Iristel CLEC status for more than 20 years in Canada means it has direct and solid relationships with all carriers’ LNP departments.
In the meantime, Iristel also announced its expansion into Kenya, allowing the company a presence in Africa.
For the initial rollout of its global expansion, Iristel will provide the capability to purchase SIP trunks, which can be aggregated with its onnet footprint and DIDs.
