Inteliquent partners with Neustar for robocall mitigation solution

CHICAGO — Inteliquent, a leading provider of communications services, announced today it is incorporating a robocall mitigation solution provided by Neustar, Inc., a leading global information services provider. Inteliquent will continue to deliver all calls and Caller ID Name (CNAM) information as it always has. However, with this new functionality, if the call is identified as a potential fraudulent call or illegal robocall, a warning will appear in the Caller ID.

“Because problems with illegal robocalling continue to plague the public switched telephone network, we believe it is critical to deploy innovative solutions, which will help protect our customers,” said Surendra Saboo, Inteliquent’s president. It’s all part of our overall mission to provide added value to our customers,” Saboo added.

The Neustar Robocall Mitigation solution relies on a number of authoritative data sources, a proprietary model for reliable behavior analysis, and call tracking to accurately detect possible illegal robocalling and other suspicious calling activity. The enhancement to Inteliquent’s CNAM service will alert customers to problematic calling behaviors by providing real-time insight to help them decide whether they should answer those incoming calls.

“As the largest provider of caller ID services in the U.S., we help organizations detect possible illegal robocalls and other call fraud in near real-time, and proactively identify major offenders. We are thrilled to partner with Inteliquent to provide them with the insights and analytics needed to deliver exceptional customer experiences,” said James Garvert, vice president and general manager, Neustar Communications Solutions.
