Role Implementation Voice service provider None Overall None - Exemption rules
- Piedmont is eligible for the continuing extension of the STIR SHAKEN implementation deadline as a small voice service provider (§64.6304 (a)(2) that has non-IP portions within its network §64.6304(d). Piedmont provides voice service to fewer than 100,000 voice subscriber lines. All of the customers are served on Piedmont’s non-IP network which relies on technology that cannot initiate, maintain, carry, process, and terminate SIP calls. In addition, Piedmont’s non-IP network is connected to carriers that do not support IP connectivity; therefore, Piedmont cannot upgrade to IP connectivity. To meet the non-IP network criteria for the continuing STIR SHAKEN extension (§ 64.6303 (a)(2)), Piedmont is a member of NTCA. NTCA participates on the ATIS PTSC Non-IP Call Authentication Task Force working group which developed the (ATIS Solutions) non-IP call authentication solutions. NTCA is serving as Piedmont’s third-party representative on the ATIS PTSC Non-IP Call Authentication Task Force working group
