Evolving Systems Prepares for Accelerated U.S. Number Porting Intervals
| Source: Evolving Systems
ENGLEWOOD, CO--(Marketwire - May 21, 2009) - Evolving Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ : EVOL ), a
leading provider of software solutions and services to the wireless,
wireline and cable markets, today announced plans to address accelerated
number porting intervals in the U.S. to assist operators in compliance with
new FCC orders.
On May 13, 2009, the United States FCC adopted an order decreasing the
number porting interval for the majority of fixed line and intermodal ports
from four days to one day, and imposed an aggressive timeline for operators
to comply with the newly reduced intervals. The published FCC order,
document FCC 09-041, provides industry committees approximately three
months to design changes to the porting processes necessary to meet the
accelerated intervals, and larger operators an additional nine months to
comply with these changes.
As a major supplier of number porting support systems to fixed line
operators in the U.S., Evolving Systems is working with operators and
standards committees to ensure all the necessary updates are available to
its clients to meet the announced deadlines.
"Our OrderPath® porting gateway includes an extensive integration
interface that provides our clients the necessary tools to respond to the
changing timelines," Steve Farnsworth, VP of Number Management Solutions,
remarked. "While the industry committees are still determining the final
process changes, our modular design allows us to incorporate process
updates with minimal disruption to our clients' existing deployments."
