📌 Why STI Certificates Matter More Than Ever
As the telecom industry aligns with FCC’s STIR/SHAKEN standards, Secure Telephone Identity (STI) certificates have become non-negotiable. They’re the cryptographic backbone that verifies call authenticity and helps prevent spoofed or fraudulent calls.
However, many telecom providers unknowingly make costly mistakes while managing STI certificates—leading to compliance issues, service disruption, or degraded call reputation.
At Peeringhub.io, we help VoIP providers, CLECs, and telcos stay on track with instant, secure, and affordable STI certification. In this blog, we’ll cover the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them using smarter tools and support.
❌ Mistake 1: Delaying Certificate Renewal Until the Last Minute
The Problem: Waiting too long to renew can result in expired certificates, causing outbound call failures and regulatory violations.
The Solution: Peeringhub's automated ACME API allows you to schedule renewals and receive alerts in advance, keeping your communications uninterrupted.
❌ Mistake 2: Manually Handling All Certificate Tasks
The Problem: Manual processes are time-consuming, error-prone, and not scalable—especially for growing VoIP platforms.
The Solution: Our self-service portal and automated API workflows eliminate the manual workload. Generate, renew, and manage certificates in minutes—not hours.
❌ Mistake 3: Choosing a CA Without Real-Time Support
The Problem: Unexpected issues like issuance failures or integration bugs can stall operations. Without 24/7 support, response time suffers.
The Solution: Peeringhub offers round-the-clock expert support and free consultations, so you’re never left guessing. Whether it’s troubleshooting or implementation—our team is there for you.
❌ Mistake 4: Paying for Each Certificate Individually
The Problem: Some CAs charge per certificate, which adds up quickly and restricts your operational flexibility.
The Solution: With Peeringhub, you enjoy unlimited certificates under one simple monthly or annual plan—giving you freedom to scale without extra fees.
❌ Mistake 5: Using a Complicated Interface
The Problem: Complex interfaces slow down your workflow and confuse teams unfamiliar with PKI or certificate issuance procedures.
The Solution: Peeringhub provides a clean, user-friendly Web UI and detailed documentation for seamless navigation—even if you’re new to STIR/SHAKEN.
✅ Bonus Tip: Always Work with an Approved and Recognized STI CA
Uncertified or non-compliant CAs can jeopardize your caller reputation and FCC standing. Peeringhub is an official, FCC-recognized STI Certification Authority—giving you total confidence in every signed call.
