Ribbon Communications Inc has announced expansion of its ongoing relationship with Bandwidth, a global enterprise cloud communications company.
“Ribbon is an important technology partner for us, and we’re pleased to expand our longtime collaboration, including leveraging their expertise with STIR/SHAKEN (secure telephone identity revisited / Signature-based handling of asserted information using toKENs) compliance in France,” says Scott Mullen, chief technology officer at Bandwidth. “Previous implementations with Ribbon, such as global SBC (session border controller) and PSX (policy and routing solution) deployments, have been instrumental as we scale our enterprise-grade APIs (application programming interface) and Bandwidth Communications Cloud around the world. We look forward to our continued engagement.”
Ribbon’s STIR/SHAKEN solution, part of its Ribbon Call Trust portfolio, is designed to fulfill requirements for caller identity authentication, signing, and verification, as defined by French law as part of the MAN (Mecanisme d’Authentification des Numeros) Project conducted by French telecommunications regulator ARCEP (Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts). Bandwidth is also deploying a three-node, geographically redundant Secure Telephony Identity (STI) solution to ensure delivery of the STIR/SHAKEN functions mandated for the French market.
“With projects such as STIR/SHAKEN deployment in France, our relationship with Bandwidth continues to grow, and we look forward to supporting their technology leadership as Bandwidth further executes on its vision to become the partner of choice for global enterprise cloud communications,” says Dennis Murray, vice president US service provider sales, Ribbon.
