Dear ENUM WG members, In RFC 4355, enumservice for SMS is defined. Is there any cases that use ENUM for SMS routing in commercial service? If you know any information, please let me know or give me pointer(s) to the information. Regards, -- Yoshiro YONEYA <yone@jprs.co.jp>
Yes .. but I don't have any pointers these are all private services. ENUM is now being used extensively in North America for both SMS and more specifically for MMS routing. This service is offered by at least three companies. NeuStar, Telcordia and TNS (Transaction Network Solutions) of Reston VA which recently acquired the telecom signaling assets of Verisign. Depending on the requirements of the customer either a URI for a MMSC or SMSC is returned or a SPID that is used to create a one to one peering arrangements (federation). In any event the business case is SS7/TCAP avoidance. The most popular application for ENUM in North America is Local Number Portability queries. The cost savings to carriers that do not have their own SS7 networks are considerable. Actually all the US mobile operators are routing MMS via ENUM queries including ATT and VZ there is a similar service available to Canadian Operators. The query can be to a database in the cloud over a secure connection or a full subscription to the routing databases can be delivered in-network to a caching ENUM server.

Hi!
Yes .. but I don't have any pointers these are all private services.
You mean, these are private ENUM trees, not the golden tree being queried? Regards, Torsten Richard Shockey schrieb:

Right .. totally closed carrier only. Its all about SS7 avoidance/destruction. The use of carrier (private) ENUM data queries interconnection for voice and other realtime communications is coming but there are some technical issues and CAPEX problems among the carriers that are inhibiting deployment. It's a substutiion play for Global Title Translation in part. SS7 cannot handle new IP services .. DUH! The GSM association has been looking into this for some time as the signaling infrastructure for the IPX and now there are several international landline operators that are looking at private ENUM architectures as well lead by FT/Orange. Of course there are lots of private companies deploying this as well like Xconnect in the UK. The problem has been getting some of the suppliers to properly support 3761, though that is very very quickly changing. IMHO this is going to get even bigger as the EC is looking to mandate full database Number Portability across Europe during the next term of the Commission. Vivian Reading has sent out huge noises on this recently. ENUM technology is perfect for this in carrier networks. I've heard rumors that even in Japan there is increasing interest in this. Onward Routing for LNP in Japan is driving NTT crazy as their all IP infrastructure is progressing and the Japanese LNP solution for mobile is not that great either. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/09/219

Dear Richard, Thank you for your information! I think US case shows one of very possible ENUM deployment scenario. I hope such precedent case will make Japanese situation move forward :-) Regards, -- Yoshiro YONEYA <yone@jprs.co.jp> On Thu, 9 Jul 2009 08:19:03 -0400 "Richard Shockey" <richard@shockey.us> wrote:
