“It is a tremendous honor to be selected to provide number portability in India,” said Raymond Cheung, Executive Vice President and CEO for Syniverse Asia Pacific.
Due to the project’s enormous scale, DoT had divided the country into two geographic zones for MNP implementation. Each zone is further broken down into 11 service areas that represent cities within the zone. Zone 1 will cover the northern and western regions of the country, while Zone 2 will include the south and east.
Another US telecom major Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bell Communications) has been selected to provide solutions for Zone 2.
Business Standard was the first to report that Telcordia and Syniverse were selected to provide MNP technology.
