ATIS Robocalling Testbed Expands Feature Set to Enhance Call Authentication Interoperability

Business Wire
Neustar, Inc., a TransUnion company and ATIS and have completed
the expansion of the ATIS Robocalling Testbed to extend features
and functionality to enterprises. With these enhancements, Neustar
and ATIS can help communications service providers (CSPs) and
businesses protect consumers from robocalls and illegal caller ID
spoofing, increase answer rates, and improve the customer
experience, helping restore trust to the phone channel.
To date, 77 participants (71 carriers and six vendors) from
eight countries have used the ATIS Robocalling Testbed, which is
hosted by Neustar’s Trust Lab, in a total of 107 test sessions. The
participants represent over 83% of the active phone numbers in the
U.S.
Recently, the testbed has migrated to a virtual, flexible
cloud-based architecture that supports the latest ATIS
capabilities, including delegate certificates, Out-Of-Band (OOB)
SHAKEN to support legacy Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) networks,
and Rich Call Data (RCD). The testbed also features the recently
approved SIP 603+ standard, which provides insights into why a call
was blocked. In addition, the testbed now incorporates Neustar
Trust Lab's Automation Dashboard capability, making testing even
easier. With cross-border call authentication between the U.S. and
Canada enabled, the testbed will continue its support of
interoperability across the globe.
“Since its founding in 2017, the ATIS Robocalling Testbed has
ensured that STIR/SHAKEN standards are shaped by real-world
experience – and it has also proved essential in validating the
effectiveness of these measures for the industry,” said James
Garvert, senior vice president of Communications Solutions at
Neustar. “As the authentication chain extends beyond carriers to
enterprises with delegate certificates, additional testing will
help to further improve the standards while giving businesses the
confidence to employ them, representing an important step towards
rebuilding trust in the phone channel.”
“The ATIS Robocalling Testbed not only validates the
effectiveness of STIR/SHAKEN, but promotes the collaboration needed
across the calling ecosystem to develop and vet solutions that
effectively combat robocalls and illegal caller ID spoofing,” said
Susan Miller, ATIS president and CEO. “Enterprises should know that
they can now use the testbed to directly participate in call
authentication. This includes signing their calls using delegate
certificates and RCD, both solutions based on ATIS standards, which
will help consumers regain confidence in answering their
phones.”
As additional countries consider deploying STIR as a global
interoperability standard, the testbed will be available for
international service providers to test their implementations.
