What We Do
Network Technologies International (NTI) was incorporated in 1985 and formed by a group of telecommunication network engineers experienced and specializing in the design of foreign public switched telephone networks (PSTN). Throughout the 1990s, NTI used network management principles to produce comprehensive telecommunication study reports including topics of network planning and development, equipment provisioning, asset management, and maintenance and restoration services. The reports included subsets of data and were based on industry standard network design practices and procedures in compliance with applicable International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendations. Starting in the early 2000s, NTI shifted into a different paradigm. Instead of producing time-bound reports and static data tables, NTI began building platforms centered around data management services and designing their own software solutions. This philosophy of continuously gathering, normalizing, and inserting data into databases coupled with NTI web applications retrieving data elements allowed NTI to expand into new market areas and customize solutions for more customers. Today, NTI’s main core capabilities are building data platforms, designing software applications and services, and being a supplier of telecommunication knowledge. Our vision is to be the primary provider and integrator of telephony reference data about global telecommunication networks and systems for our customers through advanced expertise in data management and software solutions.
