T1S1.6 (Info & meeting Schedule)

Mission

To develop and program manage National Number Portability requirements for wireline, wireless and operator services and to develop number portability positions to ITU-T and other international standards making organizations.

Scope

The Number Portability (NP) requirements will not exceed those specified in the FCC mandate (CC Docket 95-116) on NP. The scope of the National NP requirements is limited to service provider portability. Network elements to support service provider portability for which requirements will be written will include switching systems (wireline, operator services, and wireless) and NP database platforms, as well as requirements for billing, network signaling, and the NP application software (Location Routing Number [LRN] and Global Title Translation [GTT] Function).
