📌 Background: A CLEC Facing Mounting Compliance Costs
In 2024, a mid-sized Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) operating in multiple states was struggling with an increasingly common telecom challenge:
🔐 Staying compliant with STIR/SHAKEN standards without burning through operational budgets.
As STIR/SHAKEN enforcement ramped up across the U.S., this CLEC found themselves purchasing more and more certificates — sometimes dozens per month — just to keep up with network growth.
But their certificate provider made the process:
💸 Expensive — $300–$500 per certificate
🐌 Slow — delays of up to 48 hours per issuance
🙅♂️ Manual — requiring support tickets for every new request
🧱 Rigid — limited or no integration capabilities
The impact? 📉 Higher costs, delayed network provisioning, and increased risk of blocked or unverified calls.
⚙️ The Turning Point: Discovering Peeringhub.io
Looking for a smarter, scalable solution, the CLEC discovered Peeringhub.io — a platform purpose-built for modern telecoms to simplify STIR/SHAKEN compliance.
