CG-IEIK-001 Issue 4-August 1, 2005

Prior to submitting ICO TN data to INTRADO for call though testing or production, the ICO must register with NENA for assignment of a NENA Company ID. This Company ID provides identification of the relationship between the telecommunication company and telephone number. This need is driven by two factors:

• Database Management
  • supports tracking in 9-1-1 data record processing and quality management by both the 9-1-1 service provider and the data source Company
  • administration and management of error processes with multiple data providers
• Speed of Identification by PSAPs
  • when a PSAP needs to quickly contact the originating Company for line interrupt, call trace, and other emergency actions, the typical use of the NPA-NXX for Company identification will no longer be effective
  • an identifier that can be applied to each telephone number record is needed to support individual telephone number portability
  • a Company ID that associates 24 Hour access numbers with each telecommunications company is needed for the above functions
