Beyond Legacy Networks: TNS Helps CSPs Build a More Reliable, Efficient All-IP Future

TNS to showcase network transformation solutions at CCA 2026 and SIPNOC 2026

As legacy TDM and PSTN infrastructure gives way to all-IP networks, one of the biggest questions facing Communications Service Providers (CSPs) is how calls will continue to route reliably through that transition. CSPs must retire aging TDM switching equipment and softswitches – systems that are increasingly costly to maintain, difficult to staff and vulnerable to security risks – without disrupting the call connectivity their customers and communities depend on. These are critical challenges that Transaction Network Services (TNS), a leading provider of telecommunication services and solutions, is well positioned to help CSPs overcome.

TNS will showcase its portfolio of managed, cloud-based network transformation solutions as well as its industry-standard network identification and management solution at two key industry events this fall: Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) 2026 Annual Convention and SIPNOC 2026.

Competitive Carriers Association’s (CCA) 2026 Annual Convention will be held September 14-16, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, LA. During this event, which is geared particularly toward rural and regional CSPs, TNS will be exhibiting its suite of solutions in Booth #213.

SIPNOC 2026, which will take place September 15-17, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Dulles Hotel in Herndon, VA., is directed toward CSPs, regulators, standards bodies and technology providers. Jim Tyrrell, Vice President, Product Management at TNS, will be presenting, “Advancing IP Routing with Confidence: Using the LERG to Support the Transition from TDM to IP” on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET.

Tyrrell will also join other industry experts in the panel session: “In an All-IP World, How Do You Translate a Telephone Number to an FQDN to Find the Point of Interconnection?” That session is slated for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. ET.

“The retirement of legacy TDM networks marks one of the most significant transitions the communications industry has faced in decades,” said Tyrrell. “CSPs must balance the need to modernize with the responsibility of maintaining dependable communications services for businesses, consumers and public safety organizations. Success requires a thoughtful approach that minimizes disruption, strengthens network resilience and supports long-term growth. We look forward to engaging with industry leaders at CCA and SIPNOC on the strategies and best practices that are helping CSPs navigate this transition successfully.”
