STIR/SHAKEN vs. Out-of-Band

There are two pathways to extend a branded presence based on today's technologies.

The first is "Out-of-Band," which allows for the addition of rich call data elements such as logo and call reason to be added via a branded calling solution provider at an app or network level.

The second pathway is via STIR/SHAKEN, which can associate verified branded calling elements for display on a called party's device via RCD PASSporT.
