Tier 2 Hosting Service
The data owner provisions Tier 2 ENUM information against it’s numbers. Tier 2 information is a combination of Service Type attirbutes and URIs related to each TN. These address are provided to query users who query the numbers.
Tier 2 Explained
The ENUM Tier 2 is responsible for resolving information about the subscriber number. This is delivered in the form of a routable URI, known as a NAPTR record.
A Tier 2 usually covers a specific network operator and via the Query Service gives other operators, carriers and hubs the routing information about a number.
PathFinder Tier 2 Hosting Applications
An operator can use PathFinder to host its interconnect registry where PathFinder is used to publish its data to international partners – this places its data under secure conditions at distributed points around the globe for reliable low latency data access.
This approach is valuable where an operator may use proprietary registry solutions in its internal network without wanting to publicly expose its internal registry. In this case, the operator can place a copy of external ENUM data in PathFinder for external publishing. The result: savings on external connectivity management and distribution costs while still retaining total control.
Rich Policy tools enable users to customise their publishing, offering different addressing data to specified trading partners according to business arrangements.
There is flexibility to use the PathFinder Query Service to receive private customised responses, enabling users to apply proprietary policy for internal routing use cases.
PathFInder offers extensibility that allows users to dynamically configure new ENUM NAPTR parameters, enhancing their ability to introduce proprietary services and new industry standard services rapidly to the market.
