What to Expect During a STIR/SHAKEN Onboarding Call - A Step-by-Step Guide for Telecom Providers

 


📞 Why the Onboarding Call Matters

Getting your telecom business ready for STIR/SHAKEN compliance can feel daunting — certificates, attestation levels, API integrations, policy requirements — there’s a lot to unpack. That’s why most providers begin their journey with an onboarding call with their chosen STIR/SHAKEN Certificate Authority (CA), such as Peeringhub.io.

This call isn’t just a formality — it’s your roadmap to a smooth rollout. Here’s a breakdown of exactly what you can expect during your onboarding session, and how to make the most of it.

📋 1. Introductions & Use Case Discussion

Your onboarding engineer will begin by learning more about:

  • Your business model (VoIP provider, CLEC, UCaaS, aggregator, call center, etc.)
  • Your traffic type (domestic, international, outbound only, mixed)
  • Your regulatory obligations (FCC, ILEC/CLEC certifications, RMD submissions)

This helps align the implementation with your actual needs — no generic cookie-cutter setups.

🔐 2. Eligibility & KYC Checklist

To issue certificates under STIR/SHAKEN, identity verification is essential. Expect to cover:

  • Legal entity or telecom license documentation
  • SPC token or OCN/SPI details
  • Business registration/KYC submission

Peeringhub.io walks you through exactly what’s required to fast-track validation and stay FCC-compliant.

⚙️ 3. Technical Readiness Assessment

Next, your engineer will explore your current setup:

  • What SIP switch/core platform you are using (FreeSWITCH, Metaswitch, Ribbon, Asterisk, etc.)
  • Whether you prefer Web UI, Linux CLI, or ACME API integrations
  • Which systems will be signing calls (SBC, softswitch, outbound proxy)

This ensures the upcoming certificate issuance fits into your environment seamlessly.

🔄 4. Workflow Walkthrough

You’ll get a demonstration of:

  • How to request and download your certificates
  • How to configure signing with attestation levels (A, B, C)
  • Renewal automation
  • Revocation and compliance monitoring best practices

With Peeringhub.io, you’ll see how this process takes minutes, not weeks.

🛡️ 5. Support Setup & Go-Live Plan

Finally, you’ll plan a timeline for issuing your first production certificate, conducting a test call, and going fully live. Expect:

  • Slack/Email support channel options
  • 24x7 escalation procedures
  • Optional assisted test calls

You’ll walk away with clarity on exact next steps, assigned support contacts, and dates for test/live deployment.

💡 Summary: Walk Away Informed, Confident, and Ready

The STIR/SHAKEN onboarding call isn’t just a setup meeting — it’s a strategy session designed to ensure you remain secure, compliant, and future-proof. With Peeringhub.io, operators typically go from onboarding call to fully live certificates in under 24 hours.
