D&E Communications,
a company that was founded in 1911 specifically to address the Pennsylvanian
telephony market, is both an incumbent carrier, serving more than 175,000
access lines, and a competitive carrier, providing long-distance service
throughout the state, Internet access, and telecommunications equipment
sales.
Key Challenges
To provide enhanced
services to the Pennsylvanian market while controlling costs, D&E
Communications needed to partner with a telecommunications provider
who could provide unmatched Signaling System 7 (SS7) capabilities and
top-tier services.
“In this complex
world of telecommunications, VeriSign is in an excellent position to
help us look far ahead and plan accordingly. We have a highly
synergistic working relationship with VeriSign.” Bill Ruhl CEO

Solution
D&E Communications
chose to partner with VeriSign, gaining Connectivity with the VeriSign
SS7 network, and also leveraged VeriSign® Line Information Database
(LIDB), VeriSign® Toll-Free Database services, and VeriSign services
for Local Number Portability (LNP).
Results
Partnering with VeriSign allowed D&E Communications
to reduce costs associated with developing services in-house and focus
on one service provider for multiple services.
In addition, D&E Communications was able to reduce
downtime and support resources due to highly reliable network services.
