NASHVILLE, TN — September 23, 2014 — Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems announced that North State, a North Carolina fiber Internet provider, deployed both mediation and fraud management solutions. North State initially selected Equinox's TeleLink platform for SS7 data extraction and analysis. The project's success led to a larger engagement where Equinox customized mediation logic for North State's CAB and EUB systems.

Robert Myers, North State's Switching Services Manager, stated: "We use SS7 data for troubleshooting, validating trading partner carrier usage, and verifying billing. In the past, we performed these tasks using two separate systems. TeleLink not only lets us consolidate these functions into one system, but it also accommodated our very specific mediation requirements."

TeleLink enables network management, dispute investigation, and customer support functions. Simultaneously, North State licensed Equinox's Protector fraud management system.

David West, Executive Vice President, stated: "Our goal is to help companies protect and optimize their revenue in a reliable and cost-effective manner."
