Newest Patent Further Optimizes the Network for Call Completion and Cost-Efficiencies
CHICAGO, August 8, 2017 — On the heels of two other patent awards just last month, Peerless Network, a leading provider of Wholesale Voice, Mobile and Competitive Interconnection Services, announces the issuance of US Patent 9,729,586 for our “Auto-Dialer Detector for Inter-Carrier Network Switch.”
This latest patent, which raises Peerless’ Patent Portfolio to 12, is awarded for creation of a method to identify in real-time or near real-time calls made from automatic dialers. Detecting calls that originate from automatic dialers before they enter the routing process allows Peerless to make route decisions that both maximize network efficiencies and reduce costs of network operations.
Today’s telecommunication networks are commonly engineered to accept traffic that differs across several characteristics, including Type: Voice or Data, Signal Protocol: IP or TDM and Quality: Short or Long Duration. The most sophisticated of these networks, which includes the Peerless network, are not only able to accept various traffic types, they are also able to identify and make route choices based on key characteristics before the traffic is accepted onto the network. This ability allows Peerless to determine optimal route selection, which in turn ensures peak network performance and cost efficiencies.
“Throughout our 10-year history, we’ve committed ourselves to innovation,” said John Barnicle, CEO of Peerless Network, “the result of which is consistent and significant improvements to our network, technologies, processes and products, and quality and costs for our customers.” John continued, “This 12th patent simply reiterates and reinforces our mission and contribution to our industry and our customers.”
