  • Patent number: 11977512
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locking databases during database operation, such a logical mechanisms for locking a local number portability (LNP) database associated with the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC), are described. For example, the systems and methods may utilize various logical constructs, such as parameters that identify items or records within a database (e.g., object type and value information). and lock records that include such paramters.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190068780
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for managing access and performing various actions across multiple, distinct, NPAC regions or systems controlled by the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC). In some embodiments, a cross regional manager (CRM), or other intermediate management and control system, communicates with each of the multiple, distinct NPAC regions (which include various NPAC systems). The cross regional manager may act as an interface or intermediary between a user device or other requesting system (e.g., a system of a telecommunications services provider, or TSP), a single NPAC region, and the other NPAC regions of the NPAC.
