+ Services Overview

  1. Access Service Requests (ASRs) - CHR develops and manages ASR orders for all major ILECs, carriers and providers for facilities, interconnection, special access T1 and DS3, switched orders, meet point orders, 911, A-links and network services such as ATM, Frame and OC/Sonet products.
  2. Record Management and Maintenance - CHR manages outcome orders, including FOCs (firm order confirmation notices), DLRs (design layout records) and circuit designs. CHR’s staff maintains ongoing records for design and ordering on behalf of our clients, facilitating installation, augments, moves and disconnects.
  3. NXX Codes - An important aspect of providing telecommunications services is obtaining and maintaining central office codes (NXXs). Providers must obtain, change and update NXX codes due to switch upgrades and changes in the routing of NXX codes. Timing is critical and dealing with these details takes experience. CHR can also assist with Type 1 migrations of NXX codes to wireless carriers.
  4. AOCN - ILECs, CLECs and wireless carriers are now required to handle their own database administration, which is performed by an Administrative Operating Company Number (AOCN) provider. CHR enters and updates client information into the Telcordia Technologies Traffic Routing Administration (TRA) database. CHR provides a complete portfolio of AOCN services. We currently provide basic and enhanced services to over 120 telecom companies, including wireless, paging, ILEC and CLEC firms.
  5. Number Portability - For wireline, VoIP and wireless number portability requirements.
  6. Optimization - CHR can assist wireless carriers in determining the most cost-efficient trunking arrangements for the routing of local traffic as a result of new NXX codes being added in the network each month.
