Mexico Number Portability Goes Live With Telcordia Number Portability Clearinghouse

Telcordia Quickly Rolls Out Number Portability for Mexico’s 98 Million Mobile and Wireline Subscribers in Less Than 4 Months From Contract Award

MEXICO CITY and PISCATAWAY, NJ–(EMWNews – July 14, 2008) – The choice and convenience

that wireline and wireless number portability provides is now a reality in

Mexico. Just four months after awarding the number portability

clearinghouse contract to Telcordia, a global leader in the development of

IP, wireline, and mobile telecommunications software and services, the

solution was successfully deployed in advance of the national July 5, 2008

go-live date. Telcordia, selected Neoris, a global business and IT

consulting company, as its partner for the nationwide implementation. Now,

service providers in the region can turn a regulatory requirement into a

competitive advantage as they focus on quickly bringing the benefits of

number portability to Mexico’s wireline and mobile subscribers.

La Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones (COFETEL), Mexico’s

telecommunications regulator, and the telecommunication service providers

awarded the country’s number portability clearinghouse contract to

Telcordia in March 2008. At the core of the solution is the market leading

Telcordia® Number Portability Clearinghouse, which makes it easy for

wireline and mobile service providers to comply with number portability

mandates by serving as a central number repository and a central point to

process number porting transactions. The database administration will be

managed by Neoris, Telcordia’s partner in Mexico.

Telcordia and Neoris were able to deploy the system in advance of COFETEL’s

July 5, 2008 deadline. With this rollout, Telcordia brings its extensive

history of innovation and experience and Neoris’ proven track record of

system integration and hosted services to Mexico, which has more than 98

million wireline and wireless subscribers. Mexico joins the rapidly growing

list of countries eager to offer number portability to give consumers and

businesses more telecom choices, as specified by Cofetel.

“Mexico’s deployment of the Telcordia Number Portability Clearinghouse

underscores our global leadership and ability to deliver a proven platform

that can be rolled out quickly to meet tight deployment timeframes in any

environment while still providing low total cost of ownership,” said

Richard Jacowleff, President, Interconnection Solutions, Telcordia.

“Telcordia’s track record with number portability around the world,

combined with Neoris’ experience as the largest IT consultant and system

integrator in Mexico, enables us to deliver premium number portability
