About IPtelX

IPtelX officially incorporated in 2013; however, it began in the early 2000s for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity of the Alarm and PSAP (911) industries with DICE Corporation. IPtelX and DICE Corporation are two affiliated companies of unique business models that strategically work together under common ownership and control. DICE Corporation has served the Alarm and Security industries with world-class software and automation solutions for over 30 years. As the evolution to the cloud came about, and as many of DICE’s products became virtualized, unique issues were identified in delivering mission-critical communications to its clients. In the alarm and security industries, the importance for business continuity and disaster recovery is top priority. During Hurricane Katrina, the security clients of DICE Corporation dealt with this issue firsthand. Dealing with legacy telecom carriers, forwarding and failing over tens of thousands of communication lines for alarm monitoring was an arduous task. This difficulty only increased as the PSTN sunset to mediums like VoIP gained traction, causing massive communication issues within the industry. DICE Corporation decided to create IPtelX in a successful attempt to fix the industry’s communication issues and improve the task of failing over mission-critical services, from taking a matter of hours and days to minutes and seconds.

As an FCC and CRTC approved telecommunications carrier, IPtelX operates a widely interconnected IP network at a national scale. IPtelX has an Operating Company Number (OCN) of ‘088J’ issued by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA). IPtelX has further established its OCN as an Administrative Operating Company Number (AOCN) in the Business Integrated Routing and Rating Database System (BIRRDS) and as a Service Provider ID (SPID) with the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC). This establishment allows IPtelX to perform all number portability functions and control the rating and routing of its own numbering resources within the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). IPtelX also has an Access Carrier Name Abbreviation (ACNA) of ‘IXZ’ which has been established in the Common Language Online Entry System (CLONES), allowing the ACNA to be fully capable of provisioning and managing common language codes identifying its switches and Point of Interfaces (POI’s) within the network. Finally, IPtelX is a certified Responsible Organization (Resp Org) of toll free numbers and identified as ‘PDX01’ within the 800 Service Management System (SMS/800), which provides full access to the national pool of toll free numbers and direct control of routing the same.
