PISCATAWAY, N.J.-Greece’s National Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) has awarded a five-year exclusive contract to Telcordia Technologies Inc. for number portability. Telcordia will support the provision of fixed and mobile number portability to Greece’s 16 million phone lines, including 10 million mobile lines and 6 million fixed lines.
Telcordia will provide the number portability clearinghouse software and serve as the prime contractor. Local company Spirit S.A. will operate the data center that will offer support and training. The complete system will be operational in mid-October, following a testing phase, Telcordia said.
The approach allows Greece’s service providers to interface with the clearinghouse with supervision from the regulator.
