LIDB/CNAM Storage

As one of only 17 authorized LIDB storage centers in the United States, Accudata is unique. As the only company that built its own LIDB from the ground up, Accudata is in a technological class of its own. The Accudata LIDB is available for LEC storage as well as access by other operating companies.

LIDBs house most of the working telephone landlines in North America and contain information ranging from service/operational information to customers' names, payment history indicator, and their preferred languages. This data is critical to the normal operation of the phone line. Telephone service providers need this information to display names on caller ID, make credit decisions, ensure appropriate billing and other necessary services that phone callers take for granted.

Accudata is the first in the industry to offer online, near-realtime updates into our CNAM or LIDB database.  Our customers can change displayed names, or call blocks within a few minutes, rather than waiting for up to 30 days!  This service is available through a browser page, or as an API.

In addition to our traditional LIDB for landline service, Accudata has established a VoIP LIDB, or VIDB, and a Mobile Information Database, or MIDB, to serve the fast-growing VOIP and wireless markets. Our VIDB and MIDB perform the same functions and provide the same benefits as a LIDB, but they're customized to allow for the unique needs of these technologies. For example, VoIP uses location addresses instead of traditional phone numbers.
