Company Background

architecture-buildings-company-233698.jpg

Certain Communications Corporation ("CertCom") was founded in response to current technical and regulatory developments that are dramatically changing the way in which telephone companies connect voice calls between their respective networks, a function known as "inter-carrier services."

While making phone calls from a wireless or home phone may seem like one of the simplest tasks we do on a daily basis, the coordination of these phone calls among more than 4,000 domestic wireless, residential, enterprise and VoIP phone companies is an incredibly complex function.

Beyond the core process of managing an exponential number of network connections, there are two major drivers increasing the complexity of inter-carrier services: (1) ongoing changes in the federal laws that govern the payments made when phone companies connect calls between their respective networks, and (2) the continual evolution of Internet-based equipment and software that is increasingly used to manage voice call connections.


Strategic values

CertCom applies its expertise with the various components of the inter-carrier services industry to provide voice communications companies with cost effective, high quality network solutions that allow them to keep pace in the highly competitive market for landline and mobile end consumers.

One particular area of difficulty in todays communications environment is the connection of legacy networks, built before the widespread use of the Internet, with the new generation of networks that utilize the Internet as their core transport methodology.

We are working to become the leader in efficiently connecting these fundamentally different network types, helping to prolong the useful life of legacy networks while allowing next-generation network operators to focus on end user acquisition, rather than the expensive and time consuming implementation of backwards compatibility.
