Guaranteed Caller® Enterprise
The Challenge
American consumers receive over 200,000 unwanted and/or fraudulent calls every minute, many of which use spoofed caller IDs to increase the likelihood that the called party will answer. Both the FCC in the USA — through the TRACED Act — and the CRTC in Canada have mandated that service providers implement the STIR/SHAKEN set of standards as a solution to the widespread use of caller ID (CLI) spoofing in fraudulent calls.
For Enterprises, it might be difficult to obtain A-level attestation because the Originating Service Provider doesn’t necessarily have all the information to offer such an attestation. Enterprises often purchase Telephone Numbers (TNs) from a source, then load-balance their outgoing calls over multiple voice service providers, hence the correlation of the TNs with the Enterprise is not always apparent.
The netnumber Global Data Services Solution
Guaranteed Caller® is our family of STIR/SHAKEN solutions, providing proactive and IETF/ATIS-compliant CLI validation solutions for all common calling scenarios.

Guaranteed Caller® Enterprise allows service providers to monetize STIR/SHAKEN immediately. It includes Enterprise Onboarding/Vetting Service, Subordinate-CA Service, Delegate Certificate Management, RCD PASSPorT call signing and full resale/wholesale capability.
