The RateCenterInfo™ for the US is a geographic map data set of rate centers throughout the United States, enabling users to accurately determine the Area Code/Exchange (NPA/NXX) combinations and service providers within specific rate centers. The RateCenterInfo™ for the US data set combines precise geographic rate center boundaries with specific information about the NPA/NXXs operating within each rate center. Rate centers have become the telecom region of choice for Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs), Cable Telephony Operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Wireless Carriers when determining areas of operations and number assignments.​

​

The data set is organized into 3 files containing: Rate Center regions; Rate Center points; NPA/NXX details.  The data set is useful for: Determining the rate centers for ordering NPA/NXXs; Identifying central offices for co-location.  Assigning customers to the correct rate center for new service; Performing market and competitive analyses to understand the competitive pressures at a click of a button; Enabling market planning including number inventory, demographic analysis and local number portability; Performing market research, competitive analysis and network planning.

ExchangeInfo Plus™ for the US is an essential geographic data set and tool for visualizing the telecommunications landscape and associated infrastructure data. It forms the foundation for mapping and analyzing telecommunications data to make more effective business decisions. The ExchangeInfo Plus™ data set contains key telecommunications infrastructure data, based on a comprehensive database of every wire center in the U.S. Wire centers serve as the basic unit of geography for the communications industry, describing the organization of the local telephone exchange system.

​

Complex, robust analyses of the local telephone exchange system are possible with ExchangeInfo Plus™.  The data set is valuable for: understanding and visualizing serving Local Exchange Carriers (LEC) and wire centre code that serves each customer location or cell tower; plan interconnection routes and identify required collocations for optimum efficiency; perform competitive analysis and market research to grow profits; analyze wireless central office locations to help wireless carriers understand the competitive environment within each market;  determine which wire centers are needed to collocate within in order to provide last-mile connectivity based upon an analysis of existing or potential customer locations.

​

The data set is organized into 3 layers / databases containing: Wire Center regions; Central Office points; NPA/NXX details. Pitney Bowes builds and maintains this data set based on data inputs from federal, state and municipal level proprietary sources, state tariff, Telcordia™ LERG™ Routing Guide (LERG)-Special Data Products (SDP) and uses rigorous methodology, extensive research, ongoing customer feedback mechanism and monthly update process ensure that the communications infrastructure databases are the most accurate, dependable, current databases of their kind.

​

With the rapid rate of change in the telecom industry, data ages fast.  ExchangeInfo Plus™ is dynamic and updated continually, with the most up-to-date information released every month.  Data sources are systematically re-canvassed to acquire the most current geographic information and telecom infrastructure data.  The dataset is regularly maintained and updated on a monthly basis.  Annual, semi-annual, quarterly and monthly data updates are available.

​

LATAInfo™ is a map database of Local Access Transport Areas (regions), allowing you to easily differentiate calls carried by a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) from those carried by a long-distance provider.

​

Local Access Transport Areas (LATAs) identify a telephone call’s carrier type. In general, each LATA contains a single major metropolitan area. All telephone calls within a specific LATA are routed by LECs. However, telephone calls between two parties in different LATAs must, by law, be ‘transported’ by a long-distance carrier. LATAInfo™ converts information on the nation’s local access and long-distance markets, previously available only in tabular format, into a concise, easy-to-use map.

​

Provided a one layer containing LATA regions, Pitney Bowes builds and maintains this data  from federal, state and municipal level proprietary sources, Telcordia™ LERG™ Routing Guide (LERG) and uses rigorous methodology, extensive research, ongoing customer feedback mechanism and monthly update process to ensure that the communications infrastructure databases are the most accurate, dependable, current databases of their kind.  The dataset is regularly maintained and updated on a quarterly basis.  Annual, semi-annual and quarterly data updates are available.
