As my AOCN, what else will NECA do for my company?
What is an AOCN?
An AOCN is an authorized entity responsible for entering data into iconectiv’s rating and routing databases. This entity may update their own records and/or the records of other companies.
What type of information is stored in iconectiv's databases?
Information on a company's switches, including switching functionalities, tandem homing arrangements and host/remote relationships are maintained in iconectiv's databases. In addition, the databases contain detailed information on rate centers, billing offices and exchanges (NXXs).
Is an AOCN required?
Yes. Each company must select an AOCN for updating iconectiv's databases on their behalf.
Why is it important?
Correct data promotes proper call routing, recording and billing to occur across all the networks and systems that comprise the Public Switched Telephone Network. If a company's data is not kept current, network and/or billing problems may occur. Whenever a company adds a facility, it is assigned a new NXX . If it makes changes to its equipment or network capabilities, this must be reflected in the databases.
