Wireless Compliance
Our full spectrum of wireless services starts with compliance:

- Regulatory Reporting
STIR/SHAKEN requirements were initially set to take effect on June 30, 2021. However, voice providers with fewer than 100,000 access lines received an automatic extension until June 30, 2023, to implement STIR/SHAKEN on the IP portions of their network. Providers should note that compliance actions are still required during the extension period.
In a 13-minute video, Adam Fenski, PE, addresses the most frequently asked questions from providers regarding STIR/SHAKEN and robocall mitigation. You can watch the full video or use the “Chapters” feature to jump to specific questions:
- If I have started to deploy STIR/SHAKEN, do I still need to certify and submit a robocall mitigation plan?
- Do I need to incorporate third-party analytics-based robocall mitigation solutions into my plan?
- What are the primary components of a robocall mitigation plan?
- How should we handle multiple companies needing to submit a robocall mitigation plan?
- What is the first step if I want to work with Vantage Point on my plan?
