Star Telephone Upgrades to TARGUSinfo Caller Name
Services
Innovative
North Carolina
Phone, Internet and Cable
Television Provider
Reduces Costs While Improving
Coverage and Quality for its 18K Subscribers
Legacy network or Hybrid CNAM
services are provided by companies who route CNAM queries to third party
databases, requiring service providers to pay differing query rates, transport
rates and address customer support issues due to differing formats, coverage
and accuracy.
TARGUSinfo’s authoritative
CNAM repository of more than 410,000,000 CNAMs sourced by telecommunications
companies, allows benefits such as standardized display, pricing models that
avoid per query pricing and connectivity innovations such as IP, SIP and ENUM
that avoid costly transport.
In a 2008 report by The
Paisley Group, the TARGUSinfo CNAM service was found to be superior to
traditional network CNAM in coverage and accuracy of caller names
delivered.
“TARGUSinfo continues to
supplant legacy Network CNAM as the standard bearer for coverage and accuracy
and has further extended the gap with unparalleled coverage of wireless CNAM
listings,” said Meg McRae, president, Paisley Group.
Today, TARGUSinfo provides
its unique CNAM repository model to more than 180 customers, including cable,
VoIP, ILECs, CLECs and wireless operators — and fulfills more than 32 billion
CNAM queries per year.
