NASHVILLE, TN — April 10, 2015 — Equinox Information Systems (Nashville, TN) and Technologies Management, Inc. (Maitland, FL) announced a partnership focused on FCC Rural Call Completion Order compliance. The Federal Communications Commission established this order to address rural call completion issues, including calls failing to reach recipients, excessive setup delays, and poor connection quality.
Under the order, covered carriers must capture, store, and report specific call completion data to calculate call answer rates and Network Effectiveness Ratios by jurisdiction, distinguishing between rural and non-rural LEC service areas.
Equinox's TeleLink application handles data storage and traffic reporting for call completion metrics. TMI manages regulatory compliance and will electronically approve, submit, and store the compiled data. David West, Equinox EVP, noted: "TMI has a long history of regulatory compliance excellence" and praised the partnership's combined capabilities.
Thomas M. Forte, TMI's Director of Business Development, stated the combined solution would "alleviate the burden of this new FCC reporting requirement," allowing telecom providers to focus on business growth while the partners manage scheduling and filings.
