Prescott-Clearwater generates electronic tokens for call originators, and token validation for call terminators, as required by U.S. Federal law, and the FCC's implementation rules. Tokens are generated and validated through a real-time national database.
Under the STIR / SHAKEN national protocols, telephone calls without valid digital tokens may be blocked or have phrases such as “Suspected Spam” inserted into the caller’s ID display. Valid tokens will display phrases such as “Valid Call” on the caller’s ID display.
As an operating CLEC, we can provide these electronic services for:
TCPA and TRACE Act compliance is the key – if a call generator is not in compliance with these, we cannot and will not provide STIR / SHAKEN services.
STIR / SHAKEN provides FCC and Congressionally mandated programs designed to reduce robocalling by validating every ANI and using the insertion of digital tokens into every outbound call.
Every call producer with USA terminating traffic is required to use verified ANIs with digital tokens attached ensuring calls reach their dialed destinations correctly.
And... every call producer must register in the FCC's Mitigation Database by September 23. Failure to register will result in your calls being blocked, says this new Federal requirement. The registration includes your mitigation plan, that must address your stir-shaken implementation.
Voice Service Providers have been directed by the FCC to implement robust call authentication. STIR-SHAKEN standards create a secure framework to guarantee caller ID is accurate.
