Packet-based telecommunications is most certainly the wave of the future
Enabling the Convergence of the PSTN and Next-Gen Networks

Packet-based telecommunications is most certainly the wave of the future. But with a hundred years and countless billions of dollars invested in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), even the most advanced telecom providers will be required to interoperate with legacy networks for years to come. Illuminet is bridging the chasm between the packet-based and circuit-switched worlds.

Illuminet provides connection to the system of signaling networks of the PSTN— enabling nearly instantaneous call routing, validation, and advanced management capabilities. Our nationwide SS7 network, engineering expertise, and service bureau approach greatly reduce the need for carriers to understand and implement these complex signaling technologies. With operational burdens relieved, visionary carriers can focus on building out the networks of tomorrow while enjoying the ubiquity, reliability, and versatility of today's telecommunications infrastructure.
